Paul Scherrer Institut ETH Zurich PhD Position
The Paul Scherrer Institut is a centre for multi-disciplinary research and one of the world’s leading user laboratories. With its 1300 employees it belongs as an autonomous institution to the Swiss ETH domain and concentrates its activities on solid-state research and material sciences, elementary particle physics, energy and environmental research as well as on biology and medicine.
We are offering a PhD Position in experimental Physics
A PhD position is available at the Laboratory for Neutron Scattering of the ETH Zurich and Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Switzerland to explore the interplay between non-magnetic and magnetic colloids and the phase behavior of such mixtures. Suspensions of colloidal particles are of great interest in Soft Condensed Matter Physics due to their applications in many industries such as food processing but also due to their potential for the fabrication of tailored structures on the nano- and micrometer scale and due to their use as model systems. Their phase behavior and many of their properties can be controlled by tailoring the interactions between the colloidal particles or by the application of external fields. Suspensions of ferro- or paramagnetic colloidal particles – ferrofluids – show interesting rheological and structural properties that can be tuned with an external magnetic field. In mixtures of non-magnetic and magnetic colloids, structural ordering among the non-magnetic particles is generally facilitated by the magnetic colloids in a magnetic field. As ferrofluids are opaque, neutron- and X-ray scattering experiments are planned. Both techniques are available at PSI.
You have a diploma or master’s degree in Physics, Chemistry, or Materials Science as well as good knowledge in statistical Physics and some previous knowledge in Soft Condensed Matter Physics. Furthermore, you enjoy both experimental and theoretical work. Written as well as spoken English are required. The accompanying educational PhD program and final PhD exam is at ETH Zürich. The workplace is at Paul Scherrer Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland.
We are looking forward to your application.

Please send your application to: Paul Scherrer Institut, Human Resources, Mr. Thomas Erb, ref. code 3303, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland or thomas.erb@psi.ch.
