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.

The Alvra group, based at SwissFEL, specializes in measuring ultrafast dynamics of photochemical and photobiological systems using a variety of X-ray scattering and spectroscopic techniques. In collaboration with the group of Prof. Hyotcherl Ihee at the Center for Advanced Reaction Dynamics CARD in the Institute for Basic Science IBS, we are looking for a

Postdoctoral Fellow (SwissFEL)

Your tasks
You will investigate ultrafast structural dynamics in small molecule crystals using time-resolved Serial Femtosecond Crystallography (sm-SFX) at SwissFEL, in collaboration with the Center for Advanced Reaction Dynamics CARD in the Institute for Basic Science IBS. Your work will focus on designing and optimizing experimental setups for time-resolved sm-SFX, conducting femtosecond pump–probe measurements, and acquiring high-quality diffraction data. You will also be responsible for maintaining and improving the experimental system to ensure stable and reproducible performance. In collaboration with other staff members, you will troubleshoot issues related to the beamline and sample delivery systems. You will be expected to present your findings at international conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed journals.
