I arrived in Switzerland with my family (wife and 3 kids) in 2017 to work as a scientific collaborator in a research group at EPFL for 3 years. We live in Fribourg, and I work here (EPFL has an antennae in FR) and sometimes in Lausanne (lecturing). In these two years, my wife has started doing a PhD at EPFL as well (so she is hired as a research assistant for 4 years) and my eldest son finished his matura and just started studying at ETH last week!

I would like to start looking for a part time job as soon as possible. I might eventually even need to fully transition to it, should my original contract not be extended (likely) when it is over in September 2020.

By the way, I'm a senior architect (+20 years of experience), and PhD in Civil Engineering, and before landing here I was assistant professor at the Engineering school of a major Latin American university (just in case someone knows someone...
All the best,
