The Swiss federal government has approved six new National Centres of Competence in Research (NCCRs). These programmes will provide long term strength to key strategic research areas in Switzerland. ETH Zurich heads three of the six approved NCCRs, namely the NCCR “Genesis”, and sees this as a major opportunity for education, top-level research and knowledge transfer to industry and society. “Genesis” investigates the origin of life as a gradual transition from inanimate matter to living organisms. The centre will be managed in close cooperation with the University of Lausanne (UNIL). The project brings together more than 100 scientists from all parts of the country, bridging the gap between biology, chemistry, astrophysics, and Earth and planetary sciences.
In order to strengthen the small project team and support the NCCR Director in his tasks, we are establishing the new role "Administration & Logistics Assistant". This position reports to the NCCR Finance & Administration Manager.
