Application process
- The Laboratory for High Power Electronic Systems (HPE) at the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering of ETH Zurich conducts internationally leading research on power electronic converter systems, which are required, for example, in future energy distribution systems for the integration of renewable energy sources or in traction applications/electric vehicles.
- Another research focus is on solid-state pulse modulators for medical applications (computer tomography/cancer treatment) and accelerators (CERN).
- For the design and optimisation of the various power electronic systems, we develop advanced multi-physics models/digital twins/virtual prototypes at the component and system level.
- For a new research project on Solid-State-Transformers for future PV and energy storage systems, we are looking for a: Doctoral Position for developing solid state transformers with the focus on high-power medium frequency transformers. Job description
- Doctoral research on modelling and optimisation of high-power Solid-State Transformers (SSTs), focusing on Medium-Frequency Transformers (MFTs).
- Investigation of high-frequency and high-voltage MFTs for PV systems and medium-voltage grids.
- Integration of battery storage systems and control of dynamic power flow between batteries and the grid.
- Development of multiphysics models for losses, temperature, cooling, resonances and electrical insulation.

Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does ETH Zürich offer?
This listing is a fixed-term contract position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with ETH Zürich during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Zürich?
EU/EFTA residents living in the border zone of the country adjoining Canton Zürich can apply for a G permit; the Swiss employer files it with that canton's migration office after the contract is signed. Border-zone rules and processing times vary by neighbouring country and canton, so confirm the specifics with Zürich's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
