Co\-Lead of the Climate Solutions Hub (a, 50%) ==============================================

Empa and Eawag, two world\-leading research institutes within the ETH Domain, are bundling their expertise to address one of the key questions of our times: How can demonstrated, but underutilized, climate change adaptation and mitigation technologies (like NetZero construction, resilient urban water systems, renewable energy, etc.) be scaled up and mainstreamed to reach their full transformative potential? To tackle this question, we established the , a new collaboration platform in which scholars from our two institutes and the ETH Domain more broadly are collaborating with partners from industry, the public sector, and civil society to analyze and support the scaling of innovative climate solutions.

  • Familiarity with Empa, the ETH Domain, and its broader research and innovation ecosystem.
  • Working proficiency in English and ; knowledge of other official languages in Switzerland is a plus. An existing network in Swiss construction, energy or infrastructure sectors \- including at cantonal and municipal levels and/or with industry partners is a plus.
  • Clear vision for developing an open and inclusive team culture
  • A track record of raising third\-party funding for collaborative, multi\-partner projects is a plus.
  • Experience in working in co\-leadership arrangements is a plus.

Our offer

We offer a purposeful leadership role within a unique and dynamic research environment that bundles the expertise of multiple ETH Domain Institutes.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
