Über diesen Job
PhD Student in low-energy electron holography
Your tasks
You will participate in developing a novel imaging technique—low-energy electron holography — which will be applied for atomic-resolution imaging of 2D crystals (graphene, TMDs, etc.), and nano-scaled non-crystalline samples including single proteins and other macromolecules. The project will consist of the following tasks:
- Building a coherent low-energy electron microscope
- Sample preparation and recording holograms
- Numerical reconstruction of the sample structure from holograms
- Presenting the results at conferences, writing papers
Your profile
- 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 light optical imaging are a plus
We offer
Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.
For further information, please contact PD Dr Tatiana Latychevskaia, phone +41 56 310 46 79.
Please submit your application online by 31 December 2025 (including addresses of referees) for the position as a PhD Student (Index-Nr. 2411-24155).
