The French Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs launched the Eiffel excellence scholarship programme in January 1999 to support French centres of higher education in their international outreach initiatives, in a context of mounting competition among developed countries, to attract elite overseas students on master’s, engineering and PhD courses. 2011/2012 Session timetable Application forms put [...]
The Chair of Applied Economics part of the Department of Management, Technology and Economics (MTEC) at ETH Zurich is associated to the KOF Swiss Economic Institute (www.kof.ethz.ch) and its members work in close collaboration with the Center for Economic Research (www.cer.ethz.ch). Successful candidates are expected to conduct applied econometric research in the field of public [...]
The I-Lab (www.i-lab.ch is a joint initiative of the University of St. Gallen (Institute for Technology Management and Institute of Insurance Economics) and the ETH Zurich (Institute for Information Management and Institute for Pervasive Computing) and embedded in the international research network of the Auto-ID Labs. Research topics at the I-Lab are located within the [...]
Research objectives are to better understand why cross-feeding sometimes occurs within microbial communities and how cross-feeding can promote diversity within these communities. Denitrification of nitrate to nitrogen gas is used as a model cross-feeding pathway, which has important implications for water quality, air quality, and global warming. The research projects are expected to improve our [...]
This position is part of the SNSF-funded project Attosecond imaging of chemical dynamics. You will develop new experimental methods to measure the dynamics of molecules on the shortest currently accessible time scales (1 attosecond=10-18s) using state-of-the-art ultrafast laser systems. The projects include the measurement of the evolving electronic structure of a molecule undergoing a chemical [...]
Mechanical loading is perhaps the most important physiologic factor regulating bone mass and shape. Age related bone loss and consequent osteoporosis have been attributed, at least in part, to the decrease in mechanical usage of the skeleton. Conversely it has been demonstrated that mechanical overloading results in enhanced bone formation, thus a detailed understanding of [...]
