Your profile
We are looking for a motivated student who is curious about science and excited to work on challenging but highly rewarding scientific directions. We offer an engaging working environment, outstanding facilities (oxide epitaxy, aberration-corrected electron microscopy, synchrotron and neutron facilities) and a PhD-level education at ETH Zurich. A successful candidate should have a Master’s degree (or being close to its completion) in chemistry, physics, materials science, or related disciplines. We encourage applications from candidates with different and diverse backgrounds. Having a prior experience in one of these fields is a plus (though not necessary):
- Inorganic chemistry and/or crystallochemistry/crystallography
- Physical chemistry
- Theory and theoretical physics or chemistry
- Condensed matter physics
- Electron microscopy
- Electrochemistry
- Catalysis
For further information, please contact Prof Dr Thomas Lippert, phone +41 56 310 40 76 or Dr Andrei Akbasheu, phone +41 56 310 45 47.
Please submit your application online by 31 May 2021 (including addresses of referees) for the position as a PhD Student (index no. 3702-01).
Paul Scherrer Institut, Human Resources Management, Silja Giacomini-Diebold, 5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland
