Ideally, the candidate is able to integrate in-depth disciplinary knowledge into the broader context of spatial development.

The successful candidate holds a PhD and has an excellent record of accomplishments in spatial planning, engineering, or in a spatial development related discipline. Knowledge of the Swiss federal system with 26 cantons and over 2000 communities is an advantage.
