Le Département de biologie (D-BIOL, www.biol.ethz.ch ) de l'ETH Zurich invite les candidatures pour le poste mentionné ci-dessus.

Le nouveau professeur devra diriger un programme de recherche indépendant de classe mondiale dans le domaine du métabolisme dans la santé et la maladie et s'attaquer aux maladies dont les besoins cliniques ne sont pas satisfaits. Les sujets récents peuvent inclure des études explorant les événements de signalisation et les mécanismes qui entraînent la reprogrammation métabolique, l'étude de la façon dont le métabolisme aide l'adaptation des cellules à l'environnement dans des conditions physiologiques ou en réponse à différents types de stress ou de blessure, le développement et l'avancement de technologies pour mesurer les flux métaboliques au niveau cellulaire in vivo, l'étude des influences nutritionnelles et génétiques sur la programmation métabolique du génome et de l'épigénome, ou la traduction de nouvelles connaissances moléculaires sur le métabolisme cellulaire en nouvelles stratégies de traitement. Les candidats utilisant des eucaryotes supérieurs pour répondre à des questions pertinentes pour les maladies humaines sont particulièrement encouragés à postuler.

Un engagement envers un programme d’enseignement indépendant et opportun au niveau du premier et du deuxième cycle dans les domaines de la biologie cellulaire, de la physiologie et des maladies métaboliques est attendu.

La chaire sera intégrée à l'Institut des sciences moléculaires de la santé, qui offre une communauté de recherche biomédicale diversifiée, hautement interactive et interdisciplinaire. Une synergie importante avec l'expertise de classe mondiale en remodelage tissulaire, régénération, immunologie, oncologie moléculaire, ingénierie génomique, génomique fonctionnelle, métabolomique et biologie computationnelle du département est prévue.

Des chaires d'assistants ont été créées pour favoriser la carrière de jeunes scientifiques. L'ETH Zurich applique un système de titularisation équivalent à celui d'autres universités internationales de premier plan.

The Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) of the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs is looking for a PhD fellow in its research groups Governance of Crisis and Governance of Cyber Security.

The PhD fellow will develop a research project that examines the impact of cybercrises on public safety to contribute to our teaching portfolio in our bachelor and master programmes. Ensuring cybersecurity in our society is a pressing governance challenge that is performed by various public and private actors. Private actors deal with cybersecurity incidents or breaches in their organisations, while a combination of public and private actors are responsible for protecting our critical infrastructure against breakdowns. Once a cyberattack escalates into the public domain, there is a significant risk of cascading effects that may impact other vital sectors causing a widespread transboundary crisis. To better understand how to safeguard our societies from cyberattacks, we need to combine insights from safety science and cybersecurity to develop adequate (networked) protection, and complement this with knowledge from crisis management to understand adequate preparedness, response, and recovery.

This project aims to advance our understanding of what public safety challenges may occur and how different actors need to collaborate across different sectors to safeguard our society against the effects of cyberattacks. Possible research questions will ask: in what ways do cyberincidents and/or cyberattacks impact public safety? How does a cybercrisis cascade into different types of crises? How do actors make sense of various cyber risks, and ensure public safety by protecting against different crisis escalation pathways? What are the main challenges for governing cybersecurity crises in a network of public and private actors? Projects could for example focus on specific aspects of cybersecurity and public safety such as sensemaking, coordination, and network governance. The PhD fellow is asked to combine relevant conceptual debates and methodologies across the domains of cybersecurity, safety science, and crisis management.

PhD fellows are junior academics who are responsible for teaching workgroups across the bachelor programmes and for teaching assistance in the master programmes, while also completing their PhD dissertation. They spend fifty percent of their time doing dissertation research and fifty per cent teaching, which includes the PhD training and tutor training they receive themselves. Because they teach half of the time, the fellows receive a tutor salary, and because they do PhD research half of the time the fellows have a 6-year contract to enable completion of their dissertation in that period.

PhD fellows primarily teach bachelor workgroups in which students work on their academic and professional skills using content from the lectures, and learn to apply relevant theories and practices. Collaborating with the course lecturers, tutors design workgroups, teach in small groups, provide input on assessment methods and rubrics, and grade assignments. In addition, they assist in master programme teaching under supervision of the course examiner. Teaching expertise, experience, and trainings allow the PhD fellow to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ or BKO in Dutch).

Research by the PhD fellow includes all research activities necessary to complete a dissertation within the six-year time frame plus a mandatory PhD training programme offered by the ISGA and FGGA graduate school. The successful candidate will join the Research Groups Governance of Crisis and/or Governance of Cyber Security within ISGA. The research should lead to a PhD within a six-year timeframe.

Prospective candidates need to demonstrate a clear affinity with both teaching and research on the topic of this vacancy, in their CV and motivation letter plus a research statement on the vacancy topic. The PhD fellow will be supervised by dr. Jeroen Wolbers and prof. dr. Bibi van den Berg. The candidate will perform the research and teaching at or on behalf of the Institute of Security and Global Affairs.
