A high level of curiosity, independence, teamwork skills and motivation
Doctoral degree or equivalent research experience in porous materials, surface or adsorption/separation science or a closely related field
Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
Experience or familiarity with one of the following topics:
Characterization of sorbent/porous materials characterization e.g. nitrogen sorption (BET, BJH, NLDFT), breakthrough measurements, SEM, TEM, TGA, FTIR, NMR, thermal conductivity measurements
Synthesis and/or shaping of solid sorbents.
Sorbent modelling and prediction of performance or ageing. Our offer
We offer a stimulating, international, and collaborative research environment at a leading research institution with state-of-the-art infrastructure.
The laboratory and supervisors provide a supportive and safe-to-fail work environment.
As part of the ETH Domain, we offer attractive employment conditions and excellent opportunities for professional and personal development.
Start date is upon agreement for a duration of 2 years.
We live a culture of inclusion and respect.

The Laboratory for Building Energy Materials and Components develops advanced and/or low eco-impact, porous materials for insulation, sorption, and energy-related applications.
Our research portfolio spans fundamental materials chemistry, process–structure–property relationships, and application-driven R&D, in close collaboration with academic and industrial partners.
To strengthen our team, we are seeking a highly motivated researcher with a strong background in solid adsorbents/gas adsorption/separation. Project Focus
The project builds on Empa’s expertise in the field of sorbents and carbon capture.
The position is part of the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) "Separations", a collaborative project lead by EPFL (Prof.
Wendy Queen) and further involving ETH Zurich, University of Fribourg, HES-SO, Northwestern University (USA) and University of Alberta (Canada). The NCCR focuses on three key challenges:
CO2 capture from air: Developing scalable, cost-effective processes to efficiently remove atmospheric CO2.
High-temperature ammonia separation: Creating novel high temperature separation technologies to make ammonia synthesis significantly more energy-efficient.
