The European Union and Switzerland have signed the agreement on Switzerland’s participation in Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and the Euratom Research & Training (R&T) programme. The agreement places Swiss researchers and organisations on the same footing as those in EU Member States: they may lead consortia, receive direct EU funding, and access all thematic pillars and instruments of […]
PhD – Robotic AI Imaging and Surgical Guidance – Switzerland
The Research in Orthopedic Computer Science (ROCS) group at the University of Zurich develops advanced solutions for surgical guidance and robotics. Our work combines medical imaging, computer vision, and machine learning with strong clinical translation, in close collaboration with Balgrist University Hospital and the national research platform OR-X. They are offering a PhD position in Robotic […]
PhD – Molecular Immunology – Switzerland
The Molecular Immunology lab at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB), Bellinzona (Switzerland), is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to investigate how specific genetic risk alleles shape T lymphocyte functions and may contribute to autoimmunity. You will explore molecular mechanisms controlling immune-cell differentiation and function in health and disease, with a focus on […]
PhD – Protein Structural Biology and Biophysics – Switzerland
Proteins must fold correctly to function, and this process is tightly regulated by a network of chaperone proteins. At the heart of this network is Hsp90, a molecular chaperone essential for the folding and maturation of at least 20% of all cellular proteins. Hsp90’s malfunction is implicated in cancer, neurodegenerative, and metabolic diseases. Despite its […]
Commission clears acquisition of Itínere by Swiss Life and APG
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Itínere Infraestructuras, S.A. (“Itínere”) of Spain by Swiss Life Holding AG (“Swiss Life”) of Switzerland and APG Asset Management N.V. (“APG”) of the Netherlands. The operation mainly concerns the management and operation of toll concessions. The Commission has concluded […]
PhD – Position at the University of Bern in Computational Biology – Swirtzerland
The PhD candidate will work on the development of interpretable deep learning for multi-omics data multi-scale models of the immune system with a focus on investigating cardiometabolic disease (CMD). We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious PhD candidate for a project focused on developing interpretable deep learning models for the analysis of single-cell and […]
Commission advances on the modernisation of EU-Switzerland relations
Last June 13, the European Commission takes a significant step to strengthen and expand the relationship between the EU and Switzerland. It is submitting proposals to the Council to authorise the signature and conclusion of a comprehensive package of agreements, marking an important milestone towards the ratification of a modernised framework for cooperation. Key Components […]
PhD – Posgrado de Ciencias Sociales – G3S – Switzerland
The scholarships are intended to support graduates in the early stages of their doctoral studies, during which they will develop research proposals to submit to a funding body such as the Swiss National Science Foundation in order to secure financial support for the remaining duration of their doctoral projects. Payment of the second installment of […]
