<br>
I would like to share a call for two tenure-track Group Leader positions within the Climate Solutions Hub, a novel collaboration platform set up by Empa and Eawag in Switzerland. The Hub aims to explore how innovative climate mitigation and adaptation approaches
like NetZero construction techniques, resilient urban water systems, or blue-green infrastructure scale from niche applications to broader systemic impacts. By working at the interface of the social sciences, engineering and natural sciences and in close collaboration
with stakeholders, the Hub will develop innovative ways to analyze and support innovation scaling dynamics.<br>
<br>
For the Hub, we are opening two senior research positions with a potential for long-term tenure in fields that are highly relevant for (economic) geographers:<br>
1) Modelling implementation potentials and scaling trajectories of innovative climate solutions<br>
2) System and business innovation for climate-positive infrastructure solutions<br>
<br>
The two positions offer a unique opportunity to establish an independent research group which combines basic research with real-world impact. And they are embedded in a highly innovative, purpose-driven research environment within the ETH Domain.<br>
<br>
Application Deadline: February 11th, 2026<br>
Start of position: Asap<br>

I would be very grateful if you could circulate this job ad widely in your networks and help us reach colleagues who may be interested in shaping and advancing this new initiative together with us.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
