Faculty Position in Systems Engineering

We seek exceptional candidates with expertise in systems engineering, particularly those focused on designing complex systems taking a holistic approach that considers environmental impact and sustainability. The successful candidate will contribute to our mission of developing rigorous and systematic methods for the design, realization, management, operations, recycling and retirement of multi-scale complex systems. We are interested in candidates whose research intersects with pressing environmental needs, including but not limited to: i) Energy systems with multi-scale transformation, storage, and distribution; ii) Multifaceted logistics and operations of lifecycle systems; iii) Sustainable space missions and life support systems; and iv) Material cycling, including source, waste, and recycling.

A doctorate is required at the starting date. The candidate is expected to develop an independent and internationally competitive research program in our multidisciplinary environment. The candidate will supervise their PhD students and engage with researchers across the EPFL campuses. The successful candidate must have a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and contribute to Mechanical Engineering education programs at both undergraduate and graduate levels.
