1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Comparative Literature
Summary of PhD Program:
In a contemporary sociocultural context that gives so much importance to image and presence, we tend to confer on the visible an absolute virtue, that of an icon, and paradoxically we maintain it in a certain passivity, that of the object of the gaze. Faced with this tendency, a constellation of artists and theorists are distancing themselves from the visible. The research program “Aesthetics and Politics of the Unseen: Literature, Arts, Theories” aims to highlight these divergent discourses and develop a terminological framework for thinking about the phenomena of injunction to visibility.
Application Deadline: September 30, 2024

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Neurodevelopmental Biology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Department of Fundamental Neurosciences of the University of Lausanne invites applications for a PhD Student position in the research group of Prof Sophie Croizier. The Croizier lab works on the development of hypothalamic circuits controlling energy and glucose homeostasis.
Application Deadline: 01.10.2024
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sociology
Summary of PhD Program:
The two PhD student positions will be part of the ERC consolidator project: Improving Female Migrants’ Labour Market Positioning – An Intersectional Approach to Occupational Segregation Processes across countries and over time (PROFEM) under the lead of Prof. Stephanie Steinmetz. The aim of the project is to examine occupational segregation processes from a gender-migrational perspective across countries and over time considering micro (individual), meso (organisational) and macro (country) factors.
- Position 1 (education) will focus on enhancing our understanding of how and which mechanisms shape gender-migrational segregation processes in educational choices and their translation into the labour market.
- Position 2 (organizations) will focus on the role of organizational diversity policies and management in pertaining gender/migrant stereotypes and differences.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Legal, Crime and Information Technology
Summary of PhD Program:
The Faculty of Law, Criminal Sciences and Public Administration (FDCA) is advertising a position of graduate assistant in law to work under the supervision of Professor Sylvain Métille, director of the Master’s in Law, Crime and Information Technology Security.
Application Deadline: 08.09.2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Sustainability Transformation Research Initiative Fund
Summary of PhD Program:
Metanarratives are important for considering any transformation of society insofar as they have functions of orientation, coordination and support for the action of individuals and groups. Our project intends to target two predominant metanarratives which we hypothesize, based on our experience in the field in Switzerland, in academic and school education on the one hand, and in the business world on the other, that they constitute major obstacles to the evolution of society towards sustainability: the technosolutionist metanarrative and the apocalyptic metanarrative.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Geography : Energy Justice in the Swiss Energy Transition
Summary of PhD Program:
The successful candidate will work in the project entitled EQUITAS (Swiss Energy eQUIty aTlAS: Closing the loop between theory, policy, and practice) funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy in collaboration with HES-SO Valais-Wallis Institute of Social Work and Energy Science Centre (ESC), ETH Zurich. This project aims to bring social equity to the forefront of energy policies, programmes, and pilots by developing innovative social metrics using socio-territorial indicators. The successful candidate will work on translating the conceptual framework of energy justice — encompassing recognition, procedural, distributive, and restorative justice — into the Swiss context, by exemplifying how the four dimensions of energy justice apply to Swiss energy policies.
Application Deadline: September 17, 2024

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in function of HOT regions using imaging and sequencing approaches
Summary of PhD Program:
HOT regions (High Occupancy Target) in the genome are regions with an unusual High Occupancy of (many) Transcription factors. These regions have been suggested to affect gene expression, but exactly how this works is not clear. We have recently identified HOT regions in the zebrafish genome and these all come together in nuclear space to form a large cluster. This may provide an important clue to the function of HOT regions as these large clusters could provide a source of transcription factors, or conversely, titrate away transcription factors from genes elsewhere in the genome. This has important implications in the context of gene regulation, especially in this early developmental window, when the embryo transitions from a transcriptionally silent to transcriptionally active state. The aim of this project is to investigate (i) how HOT regions seed the formation of TF clusters, (ii) how these clusters come together in nuclear space, and (iii) how HOT regions impact transcription. You will use state of the art sequencing and imaging approaches to address these questions.
Application Deadline: 1.10.24
13. Fully Funded PhD Position in transcription cluster organization by imaging
Summary of PhD Program:
There is accumulating evidence for a new gene expression paradigm, in which genes and transcription factors cooperate to create specialized transcription bodies. While these bodies have gained a lot of interest in recent years, they are generally hard to study because they are small, abundant, and short-lived. A few years ago, we discovered that in zebrafish embryos, transcription begins in two transcription bodies that are large, isolated, and long-lived (Hilbert et al., 2021). These provide us with an excellent system to investigate how transcription bodies form (Kuznetsova et al., 2023; Chabot et al., 2024) and what their role is in transcription regulation (Ugolini et al., 2024). The aim of this project is to understand the organization in time and space of transcription bodies using advanced microscopy (single molecule tracking, confocal imaging and spectroscopy, spinning disk) and data analysis methods to look at proteins, RNA and specific genes. As form often informs function, we expect that this will clarify how transcription bodies work and how their dynamics can affect transcription.
