OPEN POSITIONS

Open positions related to EuPRAXIA

Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI)


'Postdoctoral Fellow: Instrumentation for Plasma Accelerators'

​

Your tasks:
You will design instrumentation for a free electron laser, with a particular attention to the requirements of plasma-based accelerators. You will test this instrumentation at the EuPRAXIA test facilities, as well as SwissFEL, to assess its suitability and its resolution. You will analyze and interpret experimental data, identifying areas for improvement and optimizing instrumentation performance.

​

You will work with our international partners to advance the development of plasma-based free electron lasers, presenting your research results at international conferences and workshops, and you will write manuscripts and contribute to publications in scientific journals.

 

Your profile:

We are seeking a highly qualified individual with a PhD degree in Physics or a related field, ideally with experience with free electron lasers or plasma accelerators. Additional expertise in instrumentation and diagnostics would be a significant asset. 

​

As a skilled researcher, you possess strong data analysis capabilities, with a proven track record of publishing your research in scientific journals. Your self-motivated nature enables you to drive projects forward, while your excellent leadership skills inspire and motivate others to achieve their best. 

​

In our collaborative and dynamic environment, the ability to work effectively with international partners is essential. As an open-minded and adaptable individual, you thrive in a multicultural setting, fostering strong relationships with colleagues and partners from diverse backgrounds.
