Join Our Team at IT’IS
The Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society (IT’IS), an independent nonprofit research organization closely associated with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, is currently seeking
PostDocs and/or Senior Engineers in Electromagnetics
to strengthen our computational and experimental electromagnetics research team.
IT’IS, in partnership with Schmid & Partner Engineering AG (SPEAG), ZMT Zurich MedTech AG (ZMT), and TI Solutions AG, forms the Zurich43 alliance. Our mission is to advance knowledge and technology in:
- Characterization, optimization, and application of the electromagnetic (EM) near-field.
- Predictive modeling of interactions between physical agents and physiology in complex anatomies.
- Medical applications.
Your Challenges
- Participate in diverse research projects in electromagnetics encompassing theory, modeling, experiments, and applications (e.g., wireless systems, magnetic resonance imaging, novel therapies using EM fields).
- Contribute to world-class scientific advancements in the theory, modeling, optimization, and application of the EM near-field.
- Develop innovative instrumentation, computational methods, and characterization procedures.
- Engage in national and international standard activities (IEC, IEEE, etc.).
- Collaborate with external research partners and provide hardware support for Z43 customers.
Your Strengths
- PhD in Physics or Electrical Engineering.
- Experience with EM simulation software (e.g., Sim4Life, COMSOL, ANSYS) and/or EM measurement instruments.
- Proficiency in programming with C++ and/or Python.
- Knowledge in areas such as wireless communication systems, radiofrequency antenna simulation and measurement, electrodynamics, numerical simulation of EM fields, biomedical engineering, error analysis, and uncertainty conventions is a plus.
- Strong sense of responsibility and commitment to the highest quality standards.
- Self-motivated with excellent organizational and communication skills, impeccable attention to detail, and a friendly personality.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks effectively, work independently in a fast-paced environment, and meet tight deadlines.
- Commitment to respond effectively to the needs of partners and customers.
- Proficiency in English (both written and spoken); ability to communicate in German is a plus.
Our Offer
- A vibrant, multicultural, and innovative work environment that drives key technologies and fosters diversity and inclusion.
- Access to state-of-the-art laboratories and high-performance computing clusters.
- A creative mix of global talents spanning fields such as physics, electronics, mathematics, and biology, all striving for excellence and high ethical standards.
- Flexible working hours in a workplace located in the heart of Zurich.
