Job Description

Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cuttingedge research Empas around 1100 employees make essential contributions to the wellbeing of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.

Applications are invited for a PhD position in the Air Quality and Particle Technology group (Prof. Dr. J. Wang). The successful candidate will work in the Laboratory of Nano Particles at Empa and also matriculate in ETH Zrich.

The research focuses on developing innovative plasmonic materials. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) are strong photoninduced collective hotelectron coupling effects which can create intense and sensitive electromagnetic near field. SPR and LSPR have found intriguing successes in biosensing control switches signal amplifiers and modulators and highperformance photocatalysis. The conventional plasmonic materials include noble metals e.g. gold which was extensively used in biosensing research in our group. On the other hand the plasmonic properties are strongly dependent on the materials the surrounding media and the geometrical parameters which makes engineering of the material and nanostructure extremely important to realize highly tunable and designable optical properties.

Your tasks

The student will be involved in tasks such as

Designing innovative plasmonic materials with precisely engineered nanostructures
Fabricating the plasmonic materials using micronanofabrication technologies
Investigating the tunable and designable optical properties of the materials
Validating the advantages of new materials in applications.

Additionally our group performs research on nanomaterial engineering microfluidics and electrochemistry which provides a wide range of opportunities for the PhD candidate.

Your profile

We are looking for suitable candidates with a master level degree in material science chemical engineering physical chemistry or related fields with excellent grades. Good experimental capability is of high value. Good command of English is required.

Our offer

A highly interdisciplinary and dynamic research environment with stateoftheart laboratory equipment
Attractive employment conditions of the ETH Domain
An international network and contacts to academic and industrial partners

Position starting from July 2025 or upon agreement.

We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation CV diplomas with complete academic transcript short description of research interests and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by email and by post will not be considered.
