Teaching and Education

Schools, training courses

Annually NUM organizes the PSI summer school on condensed matter research (together with the SYN department) and the PSI summer school on particle physics. Both schools are addressed to the education of scientists on the PhD and Post Doc level and are fully open to the national and non-national public. We are partner in the Ersamus Mundus Program MaMaSELF and provide numerous training courses for ETH Zürich, the university of Basel, the PSI Summer School in Condensed Matter (Zugerberg) and for Risø National Laboratory in Denmark. In addition to the summer school mentioned above also a dedicated powder diffraction school is organized (again in cooperation with the SYN department).

Master and PhD students

The NUM department offers a lot of positions for Master and PhD students in the various laboratories and divisions. Please have a look at the actual job openings. NUM related positions start with a "3" as first digit of the index number. For further information please contact us.

Seminars and colloquia

The seminars organized by NUM can be found in the PSI event calendar. In addition the NUM and the SYN department organize the dedicated condensed matter colloquium. More general and public oriented talks are given in the PSI colloquium series.
