ETH Zürich and the Laboratory of Metal Physics and Technology (LMPT), together with the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C) at Forschungszentrum Jülich, offer 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 applications such as fusion reactors and particle accelerators, focusing on materials driven far from equilibrium.

Tasks

  • Studies of defect dynamics and phase transitions using in situ and Dynamic TEM with controlled ion irradiation
  • Nanoscale microstructure analysis through time-resolved TEM and complementary ex situ characterization
  • Simulation and modelling using molecular dynamics, kinetic Monte Carlo, and kinetic rate theory
  • Data analysis and interpretation of experimental and simulated data
  • Scientific reporting, including publishing and presenting research findings
  • Collaborative research contributions to group projects at ETH Zürich and FZ Jülich
  • Teaching contributions to 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 demonstrated interest in experimental research
  • Familiarity with scientific programming or atomistic simulations
  • Proficiency in oral and written English
  • Experience with electron microscopy (TEM/STEM) (advantageous but not required)
  • Experience with ion irradiation or radiation damage studies (advantageous but not required)
  • Experience with synchrotron and calorimetry techniques (advantageous but not required)

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 possibility of extension to complete the doctorate
  • Position available immediately or upon mutual agreement
