Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? Paul Scherrer Institute PSI, Switzerland is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded 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.

2. Fully Funded PhD in kinetics of calcium silicate hydrates
Summary of Funded 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
3. Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded 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
You should participate on literature survey of salt reprocessing techniques, their efficiency and fuel residence times
Application Deadline: 31 January 2025

4. Fully Funded PhD in Monte Carlo simulations for reference dosimetry in proton therapy
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This PhD position offers the opportunity to contribute to a funded SNF project titled Faraday Cup Reference Dosimetry in Proton Therapy Traceable to a Primary Standard Laboratory. The PhD thesis, Advanced Monte Carlo Simulations for Accurate Proton Beam Dosimetry: Efficiency Calibration of Faraday Cups and Dose Prediction, will play a pivotal role in advancing dosimetry for proton therapy. This PhD position focuses on using advanced Monte Carlo simulations to enhance the precision of radiation dose measurements. You will tackle challenges in calibrating Faraday Cups, improve beam quality correction factors, and simulate dose deposition for next-generation dosimetry methods.
