Fully paid 4 years Ph.D. positions within the Electromagnetics Group
At present several fully paid 4 years Ph.D. positions are available
within the Electromagnetics Group of the Dept. of Information
Technology. Apart from a Master’s degree in Electrical or Physical
Engineering and good knowledge of English, basic (graduate)
knowledge in Electromagnetics and high-frequency electronics is
sufficient. The Ph.D. candidate will be provided with all guidance
and hardware and software tools necessary to perform state-of-the
art research in one of the following fields:
• High-frequency behavior of Integrated Circuits (ICs) with a
special focus on ICs for the automotive industry. This research will
be conducted in cooperation with Flemish industry partners, such as
Melexis and ON Semiconductor, and also within a consortium of well-
known European electronics manufacturers, such as Philips, NXP,
Bosch, Infineon, …

The Agri-food & Agri-environmental Economics Group of ETH Zurich
(www.afee.ethz.ch) invites applications for a Ph.D position.

The Ph.D. student will work in the project “Climate change and
agricultural production risks – AGRISK” in the framework of the
National Centre of Competence in Research on Climate (NCCR Climate),
which is an interdisciplinary scientific network bringing together
researchers from various partner institutions
(www.nccr-climate.unibe.ch). The goal of AGRISK is to investigate the
prospective role of climate-related risk management in Swiss
agriculture. To this end, relevant future climate-related risks (for
instance, droughts, heavy rainfalls, and hail) will be identified and
potential risk management strategies will be derived and analyzed. The
particular focus of the project will be the evaluation of financial
market instruments (such as index based insurance schemes) and
agronomic measures to manage future climate related risks in agriculture.

• Flexible and implantable antennas (in cooperation with Recticel
and Flanders’ Drive)
• Design and modeling of advanced submicron interconnect
technologies of ICs (in cooperation with Agilent Technologies)
• Advanced time-domain (FDTD) and finite element (FE) techniques for
the simulation of antennas for usage within the ADS-framework of
Agilent Technologies
• Detection of concealed objects with millimeter waves (within a
Strategic Basic Research project of the IWT) and early detection of
breast tumors
• Fast Maxwell solvers for very large and complex structures in
cooperation with foreign research groups in the USA, Finland, Italy,
Turkey, and Israel.

As a researcher within the Electromagnetics Group, you will be part
of a team that has reached the top of the international scientific
community for more than 20 years and this will allow you to fully
develop your creative abilities. During these four years, you will
regularly take part in international congresses and upon your
request an internship in a foreign research group can be arranged.
The Ph.D. research itself can be focused on more fundamental
investigations as well as on innovative applied research in close
collaboration with industry.
