Your Tasks
- Develop a high shear rate rheometer in collaboration with PSI's engineering and sample environment teams.
- Collaborate with partner institutions on experimental design, commissioning, and the development of measurement procedures.
- Conduct neutron scattering experiments to investigate soft matter systems under shear.
- Publish scientific results in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at international conferences.
- Propose and pursue a personal research direction aligned with the project's scope (high shear rheology).
- Support the broader development of novel experimental strategies at SINQ.
Your Profile
- PhD degree in physics, physical chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline.
- Strong programming skills, particularly in Python, with an affinity for data analysis and statistics.
- Hands-on experience in instrumentation is an advantage.
- Demonstrated interest in soft matter physics, rheology, or flow-based characterization techniques.
- Practical experience with neutron or X-ray scattering is a plus.
- Willingness to travel and participate in international beamtime campaigns.
- Strong communication skills in English (spoken and written).
- Independent, solution-oriented working style and interest in experimental research.
