Beschreibung

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 future technologies, energy and climate, health innovation and fundamentals of nature. 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, post-graduates or apprentices. Altogether, PSI employs 2200 people.

The muon EDM project at PSI is looking for a
PhD Student*:

in fundamental muon physics to work on the search for a muon electric dipole moment

Your tasks:

The search for the muon electric dipole moment is searching for a signal of beyond

Standard-Model physics. You will setup and work on a precursor experiment demonstrating novel techniques and deploying for the first time the frozenspin method.

You will study and design the electric field electrodes inside the solenoid to experimental demonstrate the frozen-spin technique

For this, you will:

Study and design the electric field and the cylindrical electrode system
You will program the control software and integrate it into the general DAQ
You will plan and perform first measurements with the electric field to demonstrate the frozen spin technique
Participate and contribute to all aspects of the new experimental apparatus

Your profile:

Master degree in Physics
High interest in fundamental muon physics and experimental techniques
Practical experience in experimental physics in appreciated
Ability to work independently
Good programming skills are required
Good level of English (C1) as working language in spoken and written from is mandatory
Knowledge of German or willingness to learn German is a plus

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.
