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 matter and materials, energy and environment and human health. 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 employs 2100 people.

The TOMCAT beamline has been providing cutting-edge tomographic microscopy to a heterogeneous international scientific community and has generated seminal contributions in key areas like (bio-) medical research, material science, energy, geoscience, and paleontology. Internationally, TOMCAT is considered a benchmark and is presently driving the developments of dynamical tomographic microscopy. Capitalizing on the unique properties of the upcoming new SLS-2 machine, we aim at maintaining and strengthening our leading role in the field with the deployment of the TOMCAT 2.0 upgrade. 

 

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow.

Your tasks

  • Development of smart acquisition and quantification tools for dynamic tomographic X-Ray microscopy.
  • Support of user experiments at the TOMCAT beamline.
  • Contribution to the Technical Design Report for TOMCAT 2.0.
  • Supervision of Bachelor and Master students.

Your profile

The successful candidate should have a PhD degree in physics or related field, solid experience in image processing and scientific computing as well as in synchrotron-based tomographic microscopy. Excellent knowledge of English is required and knowledge of German is beneficial.

We offer

Our 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.
