Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Food Biotechnology



The Department of Health Sciences and Technology (www.hest.ethz.ch<http://www.hest.ethz.ch>) at ETH Zurich and its Institute of Food, Nutrition and Health, IFNH (www.ifnh.ethz.ch<http://www.ifnh.ethz.ch>), invites applications for the above-mentioned position. The assistant professorship will deal with mechanisms, modifications and applications of microbes and products thereof for enhancing the supply, quality, nutritional and health benefits of food, while minimizing the footprint on the environment. Novel technologies (e.g. genome editing) are poised to have significant effects on e.g. plant and microbial biotechnology, legislation and consumer acceptance.



The successful candidate is expected to lead world-class research on food microbes and ecosystems, combining state-of-the-art bioanalytical and molecular technologies, mechanistic understanding and bioprocessing. A major focus should be on microbes and ecosystems, which requires an in-depth understanding of molecular mechanisms and functions, for building the quality of food, optimising processes, translating technologies and benefiting human health. Additional prerequisites are a strong motivation and a commitment to teaching. The new assistant professor will be embedded in the department's programme in Food Science and will be expected to teach undergraduate level courses (German or English) as well as graduate level courses (English). The ability to lead a research group is required.



This assistant professorship has been established to promote the careers of younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent to other top international universities.
