PhD Student in low-energy electron holography at Paul Scherrer Institute

You will participate in developing a novel imaging technique, low-energy electron holography, which will be applied for imaging 2D crystals (graphene, TMDs, etc.) as well as nano-scaled non-crystalline samples, including single proteins and other macromolecules.

The project consists of the following tasks:
- Sample preparation
- Recording low-energy electron holograms
- Numerical reconstruction of the sample structure from the recorded holograms
- Simulation of low-energy electron holograms of various samples
- Presenting the results at conferences and writing papers
You will be employed at Paul Scherrer Institute and enrolled into PhD program at the Physik Institute, University of Zürich.
Your profile

• Recent master's degree in physics or engineering
• Hands-on experience in experimental physics, experience in building a device is preferred
• Good knowledge of solid-state physics, coherent optics, and theoretical physics (quantum mechanics, QED) is required
• Programming skills (MATLAB, Python)
• Experimental experience in electron microscopy and/or light optical imaging is a plus.
