The Engineering Design and Computing Laboratory at ETH Zurich has multiple, fully-funded PhD positions to work on cutting-edge research projects.

Specific PhD research topics include:

• 4D printing and related design methods and computational design methods
• Advanced design automation and optimization methods
• Development engineering, i.e. the design of technical products for the developing world.

About the positions:

• The PhD positions are fully funded with a competitive salary. (Only a small tuition fee is required at ETH.)
• The selected candidates will be part of a highly motivated, international team at one of the best universities in Europe.
