Doctoral Fellowships in Architecture and Technology, ETH Zurich, 100%, Zurich, fixed-term
The Architecture & Technology (A&T) Doctoral Programme seeks to attract exceptional candidates to join our group of 50+ international doctoral students. We offer two paid, full-time (100%), 3.5-year doctoral fellowships to start on October 1, 2027.

About the Programme

The A&T Doctoral Programme is ETH Zurich’s interdisciplinary educational platform committed to training scholars in research and teaching of technology in architecture. The programme is offered and managed collaboratively by the professorships of the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA). The work of the ITA professorships assimilates many diverse aspects of employing science, technology and engineering in architecture, including computational design of buildings and structures, building processes and systems, digital and robotic construction and fabrication, and many others. For more information about our institute, please consult the ITA website.

The following professorships are currently involved in the A&T doctoral programme:

- Architecture and Digital Fabrication (Gramazio Kohler Research)
- Architecture and Structures (Block Research Group)
- Digital Building Technologies
- Structural Design
- Architecture and Building Systems
- Construction Heritage and Preservation

You will join one of the above professorships under the mentorship of the respective professor. Hence, we expect the candidates to define which professorship would be most suitable for the realisation of their research proposal and indicate this explicitly in their application packages. Although the selected applicant will be primarily associated with the selected professorship, the interdisciplinary character of the programme ensures the involvement of other parties during the studies. For example, one of the milestones of this doctoral programme is the Aptitude Colloquium, in which doctoral students defend their research plan before all ITA professors and researchers. Our work takes place in the Arch_Tec_Lab, a high-tech zero-emissions building designed and developed by ITA.
