As a university clinic, we combine clinical expertise with research and teaching – in a working environment characterized by interdisciplinary cooperation, trust and personal responsibility.
As the leading clinic for adult psychiatry and psychotherapy in Switzerland, we not only take over the care of the Canton of Zurich, but also act as a university institution with research and teaching assignments from the University of Zurich. At 8 locations, including five clinical facilities and a research centre, more than 1000 dedicated employees create a versatile and dynamic working environment. Here you have the opportunity to actively participate in an important institution. The Center for Depression, Anxiety Disorders and Psychotherapy (Chief physician and Center Head Prof. Dr. med.) Sebastian Olbrich) offers an extensive range of inpatient, outpatient and semi-inpatient therapy and comprehensive diagnostic investigation options for people with affective disorders and other mental illnesses. As a university centre, we are also developing new therapeutic approaches such as the use of psychedelics-assisted therapy or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to continuously develop the treatment of people with complex disorders.
From August/September 2026 we are looking for a psychotherapeutically oriented day clinic Lenggstrasse with a focus on the treatment of depression and anxiety diseases at the Lenggstrasse site.
