online @sciencecareers.orgEPFL’s School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) and the
Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) invite appli-
cations for a tenured (Associate or Full) Professor in the Institute of Environmental Engi-
neering. The appointee will participate in Empa’s Functional Materials Department, and
contribute to research and teaching activities within the EPFL Institute of Environmental
Engineering.
The Institute of Environmental Engineering (IIE) in ENAC carries out basic and trans-
lational research spanning fundamental understanding of environmental systems
and their resilience to design of adaption strategies. It covers a diverse portfolio in
research, teaching and innovative technology development across transversal themes:
understanding and adapting to climate change, distributed and dynamic environmental
sensing, resource quality and its effects on ecosystem health, and human-environment
interactions.
Empa’s Functional Materials Department develops in highly interdisciplinary teams sus-
tainable material and technology solutions for a climate-neutral society, as well as novel
soft robotic systems for infrastructure maintenance and environmental monitoring.
The joint Empa/EPFL professor in Environmental Sensing Technologies will have acknowl-
edged strengths in research and innovation related to sensing of relevant variables in
water, soil or the atmosphere, as well as leveraging the resulting data for improved envi-
ronmental sustainability and adaptation. We welcome a range of applications, from envi-
ronmental specialists who leverage sensing technologies to mobile sensing specialists
with interests in environmental questions. Areas of interest within these domains include,
but are not limited to:- Distributed and local sensing of (new) environmental variables via novel methodolo-
gies/technologies - Multi-environment sensing of spatially and/or temporally varying phenomena using
mobile platforms - Integration of sensing with localization, estimation and optimization across multiple
scales and terrains (air/soil/water) - Unconventional sensing (e.g., combining living organisms and mechatronics)
The Empa/EPFL professor will lead an internationally recognized research program that
leverages the opportunities offered by Empa and EPFL in cross-institutional, comple-
mentary research groups. The appointee will promote excellence in research and in
undergraduate and graduate level teaching.
EPFL is a growing and well-funded institution with excellent experimental and computa-
tional infrastructure. Teaching and research at EPFL covers essentially the entire palette
of engineering and science, and offers a fertile environment for research collaboration
between different disciplines. Empa conducts cutting-edge research for the benefit of
industry and the well-being of society. The EPFL and Empa environments are multilin-
gual and multicultural, with English serving as a common interface.
The following documents are requested in PDF format: cover letter including a state-
ment of motivation, curriculum vitae, publications list, concise statements of research
and teaching interests, as well as the contact information of at least five references who
are ready to supply their letter upon request.
