Zurich is ready to meet challenges of a digital future!
The University of Zurich (UZH), the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) and the Zurich University of Teacher Education (PHZH) are collaborating in the Digitalization Initiative of the Universities of Zurich «Digitalisierungsinitiative der Zürcher Hochschulen (DIZH)». The aim of the DIZH is to promote cooperation between Zurich’s higher education institutions in the field of digitalization and thus strengthen Zurich as a center of research and business.
As part of the DIZH activities, UZH will create several postdoc positions that will be part of the UZH Digital Society Initiative (DSI). The DSI provides an independent academic environment at UZH for promoting critical, interdisciplinary reflection and innovation regarding all aspects of the digitalization of society and academia.
Funding
In this third and last call, several postdoc positions are to be assigned with funding available for four years. The funding will include salary of the Postdoc, salary of a PhD student and/or material resources for up to CHF 780’000 in total. In this way, successful applicants will be enabled to build up an independent small research group and to perform research independent from teaching and management duties.
