The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employspeople. For the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering and Imaging we are looking for a PhD Student in Project 'Exploration of Magnetic Topologies by Neutron Scattering' Your tasksStudy magnetic orders and exitations of new materials that may host topological spin textures using neutron diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering. Collaborate with chemists on discovery and characterization of new magnetic topological materials Analyse experimental data solving magnetic structures and proposing exchange Hamiltonians. Interact with theoreticians on modeling of magnetic order, excitations and properties Publish results in scientific journals and present findings at scientific meetingsYour profileMaster degree in physics or physical chemistry Knowledge of crystallography, neutron or x-ray scattering and magnetism High level of interest to numerical data analysis and/or computer simulation Ability to work independently in a collaborative and interdisciplinary research team Good communication skills in EnglishWe offerOur institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.For further information, please contact Oksana Zaharko, phone Please submit your application online by 15 July 2025 (including addresses of referees) for the position as a PhD Student (index no).Paul Scherrer Institute, Human Resources Management, Robin Schmid,Villigen PSI, Switzerland Apply now jidc63540ea jit0624a jiy25a
