The Department of Biology (D-BIOL, www.biol.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned position.

The new professor is expected to lead an independent, world-class research program in the area of metabolism in health and disease and to address illnesses with unmet clinical need. Recent topics may include studies exploring signalling events and mechanisms that drive metabolic reprogramming, investigating how metabolism aids adaptation of cells to the environment under physiological conditions or in response to different types of stress or injury, developing and advancing technologies to measure metabolic fluxes at a cellular level in vivo, studying nutritional and genetic influences on metabolic programming of the genome and epigenome, or translating novel molecular knowledge on cellular metabolism into new treatment strategies. Candidates using higher eukaryotes to address questions with relevance to human disease are particularly encouraged to apply.

Commitment to an independent and timely teaching program at the undergraduate and graduate level in the areas of cell biology, physiology and metabolic disease is expected.

The professorship will be embedded in the Institute of Molecular Health Sciences, which offers a diverse, highly interactive, and interdisciplinary biomedical research community. Significant synergy with the world-class expertise in tissue remodelling, regeneration, immunology, molecular oncology, genome engineering, functional genomics, metabolomics, and computational biology at the department is anticipated.

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of younger scien­tists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to that of other top international universities.

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.

The letter of application should be addressed to the President of ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Joël Mesot. The closing date for applications is 30 September 2024.
