Dear colleagues,
The Queloz Group at ETH Zürich is currently recruiting two fully funded PhD students (start: September 2026, flexible) in the field of exoplanet detection and instrumentation.
DUET Project – Search
for Earth-sized planets transiting nearby ultra-cool dwarf
stars
Participation in the installation, commissioning, and scientific
exploitation of DUET,
a new dual-band visible and near-infrared imaging system for
the SPECULOOS telescope
network. The project combines hands-on instrumentation work with
advanced time-series data analysis to improve transit detection
around ultra-cool stars.
HARVY Project –
Extreme-precision radial velocity instrumentation
Development of next-generation extreme-precision radial velocity
spectrographs aimed at detecting Earth-like
exoplanets. The project involves optical design, component
optimisation, instrument construction, and participation in an
on-sky test campaign.
More information and
application details are available here:

Best regards,
Didier Queloz
