ETH Zürich and the Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology (LMPT), in collaboration with the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) at the Jülich Research Center, invite applications for a PhD position to investigate high-resolution, real-time microstructural evolution in materials under ion irradiation. The project aims to understand the performance of materials in environments such as future fusion reactors or particle accelerators, focusing on materials driven far from equilibrium.

Tasks

  • Conduct studies of defect dynamics and phase transitions using in situ and Dynamic TEM with controlled ion irradiation.
  • Perform nanoscale microstructure analysis through time-resolved TEM and complementary ex situ characterization.
  • Engage in simulation and modelling using molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo, and kinetic rate theory.
  • Analyze and interpret data from experimental and simulated sources.
  • Publish and present research findings.
  • Contribute to collaborative research projects at ETH Zürich and FZ Jülich.
  • Participate in teaching, including practicals and lecture assignments at ETH Zürich and FZ Jülich.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree in physics, materials science, or a related discipline.
  • Background in solid-state physics and a demonstrated interest in experimental research.
  • Familiarity with scientific programming or atomistic simulations.
  • Proficiency in oral and written English.
  • Additional assets (advantageous but not required): experience with electron microscopy (TEM/STEM), ion irradiation or radiation damage studies, and synchrotron and calorimetry techniques.

Benefits

  • Access to a world-class collection of state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopes and analysis instruments at Forschungszentrum Jülich and ETH Zürich.
  • Opportunity to contribute to ground-breaking research in real-time microstructural observations.
  • Collaborative and supportive research environment with expert mentorship.
  • 100% position.
  • Initial appointment for 4 years with the possibility of extension to complete the doctorate.
  • Position available immediately or upon mutual agreement.
