Overview
The Paul Scherrer Institute is with 1300 employees the largest research centre for the natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland and a worldwide leading user laboratory. Its research activities are concentrated on the three main topics of solid-state physics, energy and environmental research as well as human health.
PSI offers absolutely unique opportunities for condensed matter research. It boasts the world’s most powerful spallation neutron source for neutron diffraction and inelastic scattering, the world’s most intense muon source for muon spin rotation spectroscopy (MuSR), and a state of the art synchrotron for X-ray scattering. These facility-based experimental techniques are complementary to those available just 25km away at the Institute for Solid State Physics at ETH in Zurich, the continent’s highest ranking school in natural sciences.
We are offering a
PhD Position in experimental Solid State Physics
Muon and Neutron scattering studies of quantum spin systems
Your tasks
The successful candidate will perform fundamental experimental research in the field of quantum magnetism, and study excitations, correlations and phase transitions in low-dimensional magnetic materials. She or he will join the existing effort in sample synthesis and characterization, bulk measurements, and neutron scattering studies. The new focus will be to apply muon spectroscopy to this class of problems. This project is a joint effort of the Neutron Scattering and Magnetism Group (Physics Department, ETH), Laboratory for Neutron Scattering (PSI) and the Laboratory for Muon Spectroscopy (PSI). The position is partially funded by MANEP.
Experimental work will be performed primarily at PSI and ETH.
Your profile
◦ A solid background in quantum mechanics and solid state physics
◦ Some experience in low-temperature measurements and methods
◦ Proficiency in computer-based data analysis (e.g. Matlab or equivalent)
◦ Interpersonal and communication skills (a team-player)
◦ Willingness to commute between PSI and the ETH Hönggerberg campus. Willingness to occasionally accept an erratic work schedule due to the operational schedule of the neutron and muon sources
For further information please contact: Prof. Dr Andrey Zheludev, phone +41 56 310 36 92 +41 56 310 36 92, andrey.zheludev@psi.ch
How to apply
Please submit your application to: Paul Scherrer Institut, Human Resources, Ref. code 3300, Andrea Merki, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland or to: andrea.merki@psi.ch
