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 2300 people.

Are you excited about soft matter, flow, and cutting-edge neutron techniques?

The Soft Matter Group at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to contribute to the development of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) methods for the investigation of soft matter systems under high shear conditions.

This position is part of a broader international collaboration involving PSI (Switzerland), NIST (USA), ISIS (UK), and ILL (France). The successful candidate will work within this network to design and implement a high-shear capillary rheometer, enabling advanced studies of materials ranging from classical colloids to biologically relevant systems.

For the Soft Matter Group, in the Laboratory of Neutron Scattering and Imaging (LNS) at SINQ, we are looking for a

Postdoctoral Fellow in rheology and in situ SANS of soft matter

Your tasks

• Develop a high shear rate rheometer in collaboration with PSI’s engineering and sample environment teams
• Collaborate with partner institutions on experimental design, commissioning and the development of measurement procedures
• Conduct neutron scattering experiments to investigate soft matter systems under shear
• Publish scientific results in peer-reviewed journals and present findings at international conferences
• Propose and pursue a personal research direction aligned with the project’s scope (high shear rheology)
• Support the broader development of novel experimental strategies at SINQ
