Application process
- The Atmospheric Chemistry group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science (IAC) – ETH Zurich invites applications for a 4-year PhD position on “Investigating oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere”.
- The Atmospheric Chemistry group at ETH conducts research exploring the processes controlling tropospheric composition (gases and particles) and their intersection with global change.
- Research makes extensive use of global modeling tools (GEOS-Chem and CESM) and analysis of large observational datasets.
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx) emitted into the troposphere contribute to the formation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3).
- NOx thus plays a central role in global air quality and climate.
- Despite this key role, the complex cycling of NOx with other forms of oxidized nitrogen in the troposphere is not well constrained.
- Our growing understanding of sources and chemical transformations are not yet well represented or tested in large-scale models.
- The goals of this PhD project will be to better represent these processes in a global 3D model, to test resulting simulations against airborne, surface, and satellite observations, and finally, to investigate how changing NOx emissions have altered the cycling and impacts of tropospheric NOx over time.

Questions about this listing
What salary does ETH Zürich offer for this role?
ETH Zürich lists CHF 73'500 - 111'500 gross per year for this position in Zurich.

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.
