Quantum Technologies Collaboration - Open Positions

We always welcome applications or expressions of interest from talented researchers. Please contact any member who you interested in working with. 

To complement PSI’s Quantum Technologies Group, we are looking for a Tenure-Track Scientist based at the Cristallina Quantum endstation of the SwissFEL X-ray free-electron laser.

The successful candidate will become part of a vibrant research environment, using state-of-the-art instrumentation to perform own and collaborative research on quantum many-body systems under extreme conditions.

Deadline for applications is August 15, 2021.

For the Research with Neutrons and Muons Division we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in mesoscopic physics of quantum materials

Your tasks:

• Explore quantum and topological effects in bulk, thin films and devices of quantum materials via microscopy, magnetic, electrical and X-Ray measurements
• Growth of epitaxial thin films and microfabrication of devices
• Electrical/thermal transport measurements using cryostats including a dilution fridge
• X-Ray scattering, ARPES, XMCD-PEEM and RIXS at large scale facilities

For more information see official posting or contact Dr Yona Soh, phone +41 56 310 32 81.

For the Research with Neutrons and Muons Division and the Spectroscopy of Novel Materials Group at the Photon Science Division we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering in Topological Ferromagnets

Your tasks:

• Your research activity will focus on the magnetic properties in topological magnets with Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering RIXS. RIXS as a photon-in/photon-out spectroscopic method gives direct access to low energy excitations of a solid
• In your research projects you will use the state-of-the-art RIXS spectrometer at the Advanced Resonant Spectroscopies ADRESS beamline at the Swiss Light Source SLS as well as other instruments at SLS and other facilities for advanced spectroscopic investigations
• In addition, you will be responsible for the development, testing, and characterization of sample holders with permanent magnets optimized for RIXS experiments in collaboration with the Insertion Device group
• You will also assist in the development, support, and maintenance of specialized measurement equipment at the beamline
• You will support and be involved in the experiment of external users.
