Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland invites online Application for various Postdoctoral Fellowship in their different Departments. We are providing a list of Postdoc Fellowship positions available at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland.

Eligible candidate may Apply as soon as possible.

 

(01) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title:  Postdoctoral Fellow in photoactive oxynitride thin films for energy conversion

As part of this project, you will be responsible for the growth and characterization (including but not limited to composition, structure and (photo)electrochemical properties) of photoactive oxynitride thin films and multilayers. The films will be grown by pulsed laser deposition and subsequently integrated into a water splitting device through an international collaborative effort. You will utilize several characterization methods such as XRD, AFM, XPS and RBS to understand the relationship between growth process parameters and the functional properties of the resultant thin films. You will employ the collected data to publish peer reviewed articles. 

Deadline :  5 May 2025

(02) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc summary/title: Postdoctoral Fellow

We are looking for an expert laboratory-focused researcher, with skills and experience in tracer diffusion studies in clay systems. Experience of working in radiochemical laboratories is highly desirable, but researchers with a broader experience base and who are interested to further build skills in this area are also welcomed. The candidate should have a good understanding of transport and sorption phenomena in porous media and (geo)chemical thermodynamics. The successful candidate will have a PhD or equivalent doctoral degree in Natural Sciences / Radiochemistry / Chemical Engineering / Materials Science / Geochemistry / Geology or a closely related field. Excellent knowledge of English is essential and ability to communicate in German is also an advantage.

Deadline :  30 April 2025
