[Neutron] Open Postdoc Position in Neutron Spectroscopy - PSI/EPFL Collaboration

[Useroffice (PSI)]

          Postdoc in Neutron Spectroscopy
          PSI-EPFL Spectroscopy Collaboration





The Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism (LQM) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is specialized in studies of emergent phenomena in quantum magnets and novel electronic materials. The Laboratory for Neutron Scattering and Imaging (LNS) operates the neutron scattering and imaging instruments at the Swiss Spallation Neutron Source SINQ, which has just finished a guide upgrade program increasing flux by 1 order of magnitude. The members of the LNS conduct a strong in-house research program with special emphases on strongly correlated electron systems, magnetism, superconductivity, material science and soft condensed matter. The LQM and LNS jointly operate the triple-axis spectrometer TASP at SINQ.





Your mission:

You will be part of an ambitious research program on quantum magnetism and unconventional superconductivity carried out by LQM and LNS. Your mission will be balanced between supporting the external user program, pursuing your own, independent projects and contributing to the projects within LQM and LNS.





Main duties and responsibilities include:
You will support the external user program on the triple-axis spectrometer TASP at SINQ. You will conduct independent research, and you will contribute to the diverse research activities of LQM at PSI, such as exploiting the capabilities of the novel multi-analyser spectrometer CAMEA.



Your profile:
The successful candidate holds a PhD in experimental physics or chemistry and has experience in neutron scattering studies of frustrated/quantum magnets or strongly correlated electron systems. Experience in neutron spectroscopy is mandatory. You have good English and communication skills, and enjoy working in a team-oriented interdisciplinary environment.


We offer:
As LQM postdoc at PSI you will have access to:
- State-of-the-art facilities including neutron, X-ray, transport, magnetic measurements, crystal growth facilities
- Enriching career promoting environment.
- Innovative and dynamic atmosphere
- Competitive salary





Start date: Flexible, depending on candidate
Work rate: 100%
Duration: 1 year, renewable
