1. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of neurodegenerative diseases and metal-protein interactions. You will be embedded at the interface of the Luo and Hiller groups, in a highly stimulating collaborative research environment. Both the PSI Villigen and the Biozentrum Basel offer access to fantastic infrastructure including state-of-the-art technology platforms for cuttingedge interdisciplinary research, as well as a lively scientific community and the opportunity to collaborate with experts in the field.
Application Deadline: 10 January 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
As part of an international project, we are investigating the behaviour of radionuclides in heavy liquid metal coolants to be used in advanced nuclear reactor systems and/or as spallation targets. One of the most hazardous radioelements occurring in these systems is polonium, which shows increased volatility when the coolant is exposed to traces of oxygen and moisture.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in kinetics of calcium silicate hydrates
Summary of PhD Program:
The study of solid formation from solutions is a fascinating research field with many implications, from synthesis of nanomaterials to biomedical applications to functional material properties. Your tasks will be to collect accurate experimental kinetic on C-S-H system from solution via in-situ techniques, study of the influence of experimental conditions at the early stage of the solid phase formation, develop computational models of the experimental results in the framework of the nucleation and growth theories, and eventually participate in related experiments using large scale facilities.
Application Deadline: 31 December 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
Topics of the PhD thesis: Evaluation of fuel cycle sustainability for major MSR concepts. It represents a PSI contribution to EU project Endurance and the candidate should be responsible for selected action and/or task in the project As a first step of this PhD you will repeat a literature survey to collect MSR concepts existing in literature, group them and compare them with catalogue of nuclear reactor designs, which is already available
Application Deadline: 31 January 2025
