The Paul Scherrer Institut is a multi-disciplinary institute for research in
the natural and engineering sciences with emphasis in the areas of condensed matter
physics, material science, elementary particle physics, astrophysics and life sciences
as well as in energy and the environment. The Laboratory for Neutron Scattering has an
open postdoc position for the
Development of a Phase Space Transformer
Your tasks:
- Realisation of a prototype of a Phase Space Transformer (PST) which shifts the high phase space
density of ultra cold neutrons (UCN) into the cold or thermal regime. Extensive calculations and
simulations have already been performed. The aim is to design and construct a working device including
the interface to the UCN-source.
- Performance of research in the field of solid state physics or material science, mainly by
neutron scattering techniques (the use of X-ray scattering techniques at the Swiss Light Source
SLS is encouraged as well).
- Co-operation with guest scientists in their experiments at SINQ.
Your profile:
- You are a graduated research scientist with a PhD in physics, preferentially with some years of
research experience in the field of neutron and/or X-ray scattering. You have some practical knowledge
of computing. You are willing to work in a team and to communicate (establishing a professional relationship
with both staff and guest scientists) as well as to work flexible hours.
