- 100%, Zurich, fixed-term print Drucken
Application process
- This doctoral project focuses on the generation and complete characterization of circularly polarized isolated attosecond pulses and on their application to chiral charge migration.
- The experiments will use three-dimensional electron-ion coincidence spectroscopy to observe and understand chiral charge migration. Job description
- Contribute to the implementation and operation of an attosecond beamline based on a CEP-stabilized, few-cycle 100 kHz Yb-fibre laser and high-harmonic generation
- Generate circularly polarized attosecond pulse trains and isolated attosecond pulses, and characterize their temporal structure and complete polarization state
- Integrate the isolated attosecond and single-cycle optical pulses into a reaction microscope and perform three-dimensional electron-ion coincidence measurements
- Investigate chirality-sensitive charge migration and charge transfer in isolated molecules and microhydrated molecular clusters
- Work closely with the Attochirality team, including laser scientists, engineers and theory collaborators
- Present results at international conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed journals; contribute to the scientific life and teaching activities of the group Profile

Questions about this listing
What salary does ETH Zürich offer for this role?
ETH Zürich lists CHF 73'500 - 111'500 gross per year for this position in Zurich. This is the salary published in the original listing (or, when the employer omits a figure, a realistic estimate for the role and sector) — the calculator on this site converts it to 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 ETH Zürich offer?
This listing is a fixed-term contract position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with ETH Zürich 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 Zürich?
EU/EFTA residents living in the border zone of the country adjoining Canton Zürich can apply for a G permit; the Swiss employer files it with that canton's migration office after the contract is signed. Border-zone rules and processing times vary by neighbouring country and canton, so confirm the specifics with Zürich's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
