The Paul Scherrer Institute is with 1400 employees the largest research centre for the natural and engineering sciences in Switzerland and a worldwide leading user laboratory. Its research activities are concentrated on the main topics structure of matter, energy and environmental research as well as human health.

The Group Materials Science and Simulations (MSS, http://mss.web.psi.ch/), part of the Department Research with Neutrons and Muons (NUM), performs research in the structural and mechanical properties of metals, alloys and composites using in-situ testing facilities at the Neutron Spallation Source (SINQ) and at the Swiss Light Source (SLS), meanwhile exploiting synergies with computational modelling.

For the investigation of structure evolution and deformation resistance in nanocrystalline metals we are looking for a



Tugas Anda:

This research is part of a collaboration between the Paul Scherrer Institute, the Max Planck Institute in Düsseldorf and the University of Erlangen. The main objective is to develop knowledge on the interplay between the deformation mechanisms in nanocrystalline metals. Therefore you will perform transient experiments in the laboratory and in-situ mechanical testing during X-ray diffraction at the Swiss Light Source. You will also use basic microscopy methods to characterize the microstructure of the materials under investigation. The outcome of this research will be used in constitutive models.

Profil yang dikehendaki

  • You hold a Master degree in physics or materials science
  • Experience in mechanical testing and/or diffraction techniques is of advantage
  • Excellent communication skills in English, knowledge of German is welcome
  • You enjoy working in an international team
You will be registered as a PhD Student at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology EPFL in Lausanne, while the practical work will be carried out at PSI.

For further information please contact Prof. Dr. Helena van Swygenhoven, phone +41 56 310 29 31.

Please submit your application online (including list of publications and addresses of referees) for the position as PhD Student (index no. 3402-02).
