PhD Student in Condensed Matter Physics (Index-Nr. 6215-29324) Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland

Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland is advertising a PhD Student in Condensed Matter Physics for the PEARL beamline at the Swiss Light Source. The project focuses on the atomic and electronic structure of altermagnetic materials using experimental methods such as photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, ARPES) and scanning probe microscopy (STM, AFM) . The role also includes maintaining and developing instrumentation and data analysis tools, collaborating with experimental and theoretical partn...

PhD opportunity at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland for a project on proton transport in clays , physical chemistry , materials science , and related environmental chemistry topics. The project is part of a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Laboratory for Waste Management (LES), the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering and Imaging (LNS), and the Water Electrodynamics Group at TU-Hamburg. The PhD student will investigate proton diffusion in bulk and confined water, including vehi...

The event will take place in Darmstadt, Germany, from 29 September to 1 October 2026, and will be conducted in a hybrid format, allowing both on-site and online participation. This symposium is designed for scientists and researchers fro...

Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) is advertising a 3-year postdoctoral position in time-resolved studies of heterogeneous photocatalysts using X-ray spectroscopies at SLS and SwissFEL . The project is hosted by Aram Bugaev and sits at the intersection of physics , chemistry , materials science , and data analysis . The research area focuses on pump-probe studies of supported metals in heterogeneous photocatalysis, with an emphasis on understanding coupled electronic and local atomic dynamics for rati...

ETH Zürich’s FERROIC Lab (Laboratory for Functional Ferroic Materials) is offering a postdoctoral position in ultrafast laser spectroscopy of quantum materials. The group develops and applies advanced spectroscopy across the terahertz to ultraviolet spectral range to explore fundamental non-equilibrium phenomena in condensed-matter systems, with a particular focus on strongly correlated electron materials and emergent dynamics far from equilibrium. The project investigates how intense ultrafast ...
