Mission
EPFL Faculty Affairs acts as a contact point and facilitator for any questions related to EPFL Faculty members. Its mission is to oversee and support the faculty hiring and promotion processes, to ensure compliance with academic guidelines and to provide advice in administrative and academic strategic matters.
The department core activities involve launching the recruitment process and advertising the positions in collaboration with the different schools, organizing and following up on the appointment process of the selected candidates, preparing the hiring offer and the corresponding official documents, as well as the subsequent evaluation procedure. In interaction with the Staff of ETH-Board, the department organizes the formal nomination, promotion and retirement files, among others.
Other activities include:
- Research leaves analysis, dispensations for visiting professors and the coordination of the disclosure of outside activities.
- Management of the EPFL recruitment and promotion platforms: technical support, implementation of new enhancements, advice and guidance to users.
- Faculty data for planning and management purposes, including statistics, analysis and reporting.
- Faculty onboarding support.
On this page, you can find practical information on different topics.

Honorary Lecture Viesturs Simanis – Cold fission: how to split a cell at room temperature
With: Prof. Viesturs Simanis Bio:
I was born in London, UK. I did my BA Degree in Biochemistry at Imperial College, London, passing with First class honours, and was awarded the Governor’s Prize. I did my PhD with Prof David Lane at Imperial College, studying cellular sequences that bind T antigen in SV40-transformed cells. My postdoctoral studies were with Prof. Paul Nurse (ICRF, London), working on cell cycle control, using the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe as a model. I was appointed chercheur associé at ISREC in 1989, and then Associate Professor at EPFL in 2006. My lab studies cell cycle control, with a focus on how the cell cycle is coordinated during mitotic division and meiosis.
