Where Creativity Meets Media and Tech
At the ETH Zurich Media and Methods Lab, we don't work in silos; we collaborate through close co-design. Game designers, storytellers, programmers, and educational experts all pull together. To strengthen our team, we are looking for a passionate individual eager to develop innovative learning experiences hands-on—from the initial idea to finished prototyping—especially concerning exciting new formats for the ETH Heilbronn location.
About the Role
As part of the Media and Methods Lab (MML) within the Unit for Teaching and Learning at ETH Zurich, you will design and create future-oriented, interactive teaching and learning experiences in multidisciplinary teams. Your focus will be on the virtual development of the new ETH Campus Heilbronn. The position is initially limited until the end of 2026, with the potential for extension.
Responsibilities
- Develop didactic concepts for digital media with emphasis on Mixed/Virtual Reality and digital collaboration.
- Actively implement virtual modules in co-design—from concept to prototyping to implementation—to create innovative learning experiences, collaborating hands-on with the multidisciplinary MML team (Audiovisual Media Design, Storytelling, Game Design, Programming) and various ETH departments.
- Oversee and drive flexible project management and organization of sub-projects while contributing new ideas and developments.
Qualifications
- In-depth expertise in Learning Design (didactic integration of media, authoring tools, interaction).
- Practical experience in the production of digital learning modules at the university level.
- Experience in the planning, structuring, and implementation of learning modules.
- A genuine interest in scientific topics and interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Proficient communication skills in both German and English.
- Teaching experience and/or a formal teaching qualification.
- Agile, quick at grasping new concepts, with a strong interest in media and tech developments.
- A university degree in a relevant field.
- Bonus: Familiarity with UI/UX Design or Interaction Design, as well as an affinity for AI and its tools.
What We Offer
- Innovation: Work at the exciting intersection of new media, tech, science, and education, actively helping to shape the digital future of one of the world's leading universities.
- Hands-on Mentality & Clear Results: We focus on implementation, not just design. Expect project-based work in agile team environments with modern prototyping workflows and tangible outcomes.
- Interdisciplinary Network: Collaborate closely with professors and experts across ETH, bridging the gap between complex science and innovative educational techniques.
- An Inspiring, Multidisciplinary Team: Join our Media and Methods Lab (MML), where expertise from game design, programming, storytelling, and media design converges in a creative environment fostering knowledge exchange.
- Flexibility & Inclusion: We promote an open culture where diversity and equal opportunity are core values. Enjoy a modern workplace in the heart of Zurich with attractive options for remote and hybrid work.
