Eawag focuses on cutting-edge research that is driven by the needs of society and leads to significant advances in the aquatic sciences. Innovative approaches and technologies for the sustainable management and use of water are developed through collaborations among natural and social scientists and engineers.
The postdoctoral fellow will be hosted within one of Eawag’s 12 Research Departments (see Organisation ). Selection of the postdoctoral fellow will be based on the research proposal and academic record of the candidate.
