As one of the leading international universities for technology and the natural sciences, ETH Zurich is well-known for its excellent education, ground-breaking fundamental research and for implementing its results directly into practice. As researcher, it offers you an inspiring working environment, for your students, a comprehensive education.* Founded in 1855, ETH Zurich today has more than 18,500 students from over 110 countries, including 4,000 doctoral students. About 500 professors currently teach and conduct research in engineering, architecture, mathematics, natural sciences, system-oriented sciences, and management and social sciences. ETH Zurich regularly appears at the top of international rankings as one of the best universities in the world. Twenty-one Nobel Laureates, including Albert Einstein have studied, taught or conducted research at ETH Zurich, accentuating the excellent reputation of the university. Transferring its knowledge to the private sector and society at large is one of ETH Zurich’s primary concerns. The 80 new patent applications filed each year and the 300 spin-off companies that emerged from the institute between 1996 and 2014 are evidence of ETH Zurich’s success in this area. ETH Zurich helps to find long-term solutions to global challenges. The focal points of its research include energy supply, risk management, developing the cities of the future, global food security and human health. To foster knowledge transfer, ETH Zurich maintains close collaborative research relationships with industry including: Disney Research, IBM Research, Oracle Labs, and Google’s Project Tango. *What’s it like to live in Zurich?* Zurich is a fantastic place to live and enjoy a high quality of life. It is large enough to have everything you would enjoy in a big city in terms of culture, but small enough to avoid the societal challenges of a typical urban environment. It is safe, beautiful, clean, and well-organized. You don’t even need a car in Zurich as the public transportation system is among the best in the world. Zurich is well-connected to both the Swiss Alps and the rest of the world. The high quality of public education makes it a great environment in which to raise a family. *What’s it like to conduct research and work here?* The transfer of knowledge to society is a key economic driver in the Swiss economy and as a result education and research is highly valued in Switzerland with the investment of stable public funding. This circumstance presents a unique opportunity for professors to focus on teaching and fundamental research without the pressure of fundraising. ETH Zurich also has a strong culture of autonomy and trust. Its leadership structure values diversity, equal opportunity, and a “bottom-up” culture that supports ground-breaking research without the limitations of time and scope that often accompanies industry and government funding in other countries.
