PhD in Chemistry

We are a dynamic, interdisciplinary, medium-size lab working at the interface of chemistry and biology. We work on the development of probes to visualize and control biological processes in living systems. World-class infrastructure is available in our lab, the department, or at technology platforms of the University of Zurich. We are located at University of Zurich, Irchel campus, where you would work in one of the newest and most modern chemistry buildings in Europe. The Laboratory of Chemical and Biological Probes (Prof. Rivera Fuentes) is looking for a PhD student to work on the development of novel chemical tools to study redox biological processes. The following two recent publications are indicative of ongoing work of our lab in this area: Nat. Chem. 2023, 15, 1415; Redox Biol. 2025, 81, 103560.
