The Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is the largest research institute for natural and engineering sciences within Switzerland. We perform cutting-edge research in the fields of matter and materials, energy and environment and human health. By performing fundamental and applied research, we work on sustainable solutions for major challenges facing society, science and economy. PSI is committed to the training of future generations. Therefore, about one quarter of our staff are post-docs, postgraduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2100 people.
For Center of Operando spectroscopy studies we are looking for a
**PhD Student***:
Pump-probe X-ray absorption spectroscopy to study intermediates of water splitting at solid-liquid interfaces
**Your tasks**:
- Your work will be focused on the preparation and performing time-resolved Xray absorption experiments at large scale research facilities: X-ray Free Electron Laser (SwissFEL) and synchrotron SLS, the preparation step includes the characterization of materials using laser-based pump-probe spectroscopic techniques
- You will investigate the mechanism of (photo)electrochemical water splitting at solid-liquid interfaces, the goal is to determine the structure of intermediates on the basis of time-resolved X-ray absorption data
- During your PhD you will interact extensively with your colleagues from the electrochemistry department of PSI regarding samples for investigations, colleagues from SLS and SwissFEL to realize complex experiments and international collaborators
**Your profile**:
- Completed study in physics, chemistry or closely related discipline, with some experience in time-resolved spectroscopy using lasers or in X-ray absorption spectroscopy
- Knowledge about (photo)electrochemical water splitting is a plus
- You have an active interest in experimental work and take the initiative for new solutions; being able to work independently in a collaborative and interdisciplinary research team
- Good communication skills in English are required**We offer**:
Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.
