We are happy to announce that representative positions for the scientific staff at DGESS became available!

Joining our team brings a lot of fun, meeting and cooperating with new people from all around ETH, insight into departmental politics at the DGESS and the ETH, and various activities that you can choose from.

If you are interested in joining us, be advised that being part of our board…

…can involve any tasks that you are interested in (e.g., political affairs, social affairs, financial administration, website administration,…)

…does not necessarily mean a lot of time investment (we can adapt our activities to personal workload and interests)

…brings a lot of fun and interesting experiences!

Anyone from future doctoral students to experienced postdocs is welcome!

If you are interested in department or ETH politics, meeting colleagues and nice new people, planning social, cultural, or academic events, or becoming active in teaching commissions, we have the following options for you:

• Board Member of the Association of Scientific Staff (ASST), the representative association for all doctoral students, postdocs, and senior researchers at DGESS.

• Representative in the DGESS Department Conference, the highest body of the department which has meetings twice a semester.

• Representative in teaching commissions for studies offered at DGESS.
