- Profile
Applicants should hold, or expect to obtain, an MSc degree in physics. A strong interest in experimental physics, precision measurements, data analysis, and computational methods is expected. Experience with programming, Monte Carlo simulations and statistical data analysis would be an advantage. International reputation Application and Contact The selection process will be conducted on a rolling basis, and the position will remain open until filled. The starting date is flexible and will be agreed upon with the successful candidate. With us, you create value. For yourself and for society.
Project description
The n2EDM experiment searches for the electric dipole moment of the neutron, providing a sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model and of new sources of CP violation. The University of Bern is a long-standing member of the neutron EDM collaboration, with past and ongoing contributions to the development and operation of experimental hardware, data analysis, simulations, and the investigation and control of systematic effects. The position is based at the University of Bern at the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics (AEC) and the Laboratory for High Energy Physics (LHEP) and involves regular experimental work at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland, where the n2EDM experiment is operated.

Questions about this listing
What salary does Universität Bern offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Bern is CHF 85'000 - 119'000 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by Universität Bern. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Universität Bern offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Universität Bern during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Bern?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Bern's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Bern's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
