Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD position is part of an innovative research project titled “Computational analysis of personal identity in interaction: Recognition and ethics – CAPIRE” at the Digital Society Initiative and Department for Computational Linguistics, University of Zurich. This interdisciplinary project aims to develop advanced computational models for person identification analysis using multimodal communication signals such as speech, gestures, and facial expressions. The research will involve analyzing large datasets of human interaction data and applying state-of-the-art machine learning methods to identify unique patterns indicative of personal identity.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Information Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals for a PhD position in the field of Information Systems, as part of the DIZH-funded research project “Government as a Platform: Orchestrating Stakeholders in Crisis Situations through Digital Platforms” (short description). In the project, we take advantage of digital platforms and their principles to improve the coordination and orchestration of relevant actors in the Canton of Zurich on the example of the Ukraine refugee crisis. As a PhD student, you will be supervised by Dr. Liudmila Zavolokina (Digital Society Initiative, University of Zurich) and Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schwabe (Department of Informatics, University of Zurich).
Application Deadline: Open until filled

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development of Adolescents’ Metacognitive Control Skills
Summary of PhD Program:
As a PhD Student, your key responsibilities are:
Active participation in research design and longitudinal data collection. You will play an important role in the coordination of the longitudinal project in close collaboration with the other team members, which involves designing and piloting research materials, ensuring adherence to ethical research standards, maintaining detailed records, and facilitating communication among researchers and practicioners.
Analysis of (longitudinal) data collected throughout the project. This involves using advanced statistical techniques to unravel patterns of development in monitoring and control skills over time. You are encouraged to participate in courses and to continously educate yourself about cutting-edge methods in longitudinal data analysis.
Application Deadline: October 2, 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Environmental Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The recently communicated Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) framework of the European Union aims to develop new chemicals in a way that they are inherently environmentally safe. Implementation of this goal requires appropriate methods for high-throughput assessment of key environmental hazards, including chemicals’ persistence in the environment and their potential for causing (eco-)toxicological effects.
Application Deadline: 15th September 2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in theoretical chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will deal with development and application of novel, accurate approaches for the study of functional compounds. A possible direction of the project is the development of advanced dynamic approaches for detailed and realistic study of reaction mechanisms and reaction networks considering in a sophisticated manner environmental effects (also under catalytic conditions). This can include the development of advanced enhanced sampling approaches and embedding techniques for highly accurate description beyond the DFT level / at catalytic conditions (possibly also combined with machine learning). Additionally, the project(s) may be carried out in close collaboration with experimental or other computational groups.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Organofluorine chemistry and Catalysis
Summary of PhD Program:
You will be responsible for developing new synthesis methods and reagents, synthesizing the required substrates, optimizing reactions, and elucidating the underlying reaction mechanisms using spectroscopic, electrochemical, and mass spectrometric methods. Additionally you will also be involved in teaching by supervising practical laboratory courses and bachelor/master theses.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in digital prediction and intervention for suicidality
Summary of PhD Program:
MULTICAST is a four-year SNSF-founded project and a collaborative effort between the Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich, the Department of Psychology of the University of Zurich, the German Department of the University of Zurich, and the Department of Psychiatry, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, USA. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to the prediction of suicidal ideation (SI) and suicidal behavior (SB) by drawing on key linguistic, psychological, clinical, and neurobiological features. The overarching aim of the project is to broaden our understanding of how suicidal ideation can best be predicted and to develop precise and efficacious smartphone-based treatment strategies.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Theoretical Cosmology
Summary of PhD Program:
Working with Prof. Yoo, the successful candidate will work on modeling galaxy clustering and develop applications to measurements from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The DESI is delivering unprecedented amount of precision measurements of the large-scale structure of the Universe. It is therefore timely to revisit our theoretical modeling of galaxy clustering in detail and ensure that the theoretical predictions for cosmological interpretation of data are as accurate as the measurement precision demands. Going beyond the standard modeling, we will look into the impacts of systematic errors in theoretical modeling such as a non-zero spatial curvature, relativistic effects, redshift-evolution, the integral constraint, wide angle effects and so on.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Bioinorganic Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Your research will span the entire area from identifying new and exciting protein sequences, cloning and recombinant protein production, purification and initial spectroscopic and spectrometric characterisation (UV, CD, AAS, ESI-MS, MALDI, etc), followed by structural studies with NMR and X-ray or functional analyses in collaboration with groups from the biological field.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in computational psychiatry
Summary of PhD Program:
Our lab is interested in novel ways of phenotyping psychotic disorders, such as quantitative analysis of speech and language with large language models and natural language processing. In the context of a multinational EU Horizon project (TRUSTING) we will apply quantitative language analysis to predict relapse in psychotic disorders in a clinical trial. We will design and implement multimodal paradigms (e.g. combined fMRI and speech production) and use methods such as machine learning, multilevel analyses and computational modeling to decompose behavioral performance into interpretable aspects of cognitive and perceptual processing.
