Job description

Trainee for computational and experimental studies of Plasma Discharge Devices for Advanced Beam Manipulation 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 Electron Beam Instrumentation Group develops instruments that measure the properties of electron beams and engages in advanced accelerator research. Recently, we started developing and applying multiphysics and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation tools to optimize the design and performance of plasma-based particle acceleration and beam manipulation systems. In this context, we are looking for a Your tasks: You will contribute to the development and optimization of plasma-based beam manipulation devices...
