Department of Physics (PI) / Paul Scherrer Institut(PSI) Professorship for Muon Spectroscopy 100 % permanentemployment We are seeking candidates who are experts in using muonspectroscopy for the advancement of material science. Examples arethe use and development of muon instrumentation for the study ofquantum and energy materials. The research program of this newprofessorship will be able to take advantage of the opportunityprovided by the unique Swiss Muon Source (SμS) facility at PSI andto develop it further. The successful candidate must be anestablished researcher in quantum and/or energy materials as wellin using and developing muon instrumentation with a proven trackrecord in terms of research output and acquisition of third-partyfunding. Experience in teaching and mentoring are highly valued.The future professor is expected to be an active member of theDepartment of Physics (PI) at the University of Zurich (UZH) andcontribute to its academic self-administration. The professor willalso contribute to teaching and its further development, inparticular with courses on condensed matter physics, quantummaterials and muon science, and supervising PhD students as well asBachelor and Master theses. The successful candidate will head theLaboratory for Muon Spin Spectroscopy (LMU) at the PSI Center forNeutron and Muon Sciences (CNM). CNM operates three nationalinfrastructures for neutron and muon research (SINQ, SμS) as wellas for particle physics (CHRISP) supporting research activitiesspanning a wide spectrum from particle and condensed matter physicsto chemistry, materials science, engineering, and culturalheritage. In CNM, LMU is responsible for the scientificexploitation of the SμS, where it operates seven muon instrumentsand runs a world-leading muon science user program welcoming about200 Swiss and international scientific users every year. The LMUhead manages about 20 permanent scientific, technical andadministrative staff, as well as associated students andp...
