PhD Student in Physics | Doktorandin / Doktorand (m/w/d) Physik (26-28-7A)

Job Summary

This role is based at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Berlin-Adlershof, focusing on X-ray spectrometry using synchrotron radiation. As a PhD candidate, you will contribute to the development of X-ray fluorescence analysis methods for the precise determination of physical and chemical properties in complex sample systems. Your day-to-day work involves planning and conducting experiments at the BESSY II storage ring, specifically performing operando investigations on nanoelectronic components and electrochemical battery systems. You will be responsible for analyzing measurement data, optimizing evaluation programs, and quantifying measurement uncertainties. This position is particularly attractive as it offers a 3-year contract at 75% of a full-time position (33.15 hours/week) within a prestigious national metrology institute. You will benefit from a dedicated PhD program, excellent research infrastructure, and the ability to focus entirely on your research without teaching obligations, while presenting your findings at international scientific conferences.
