Description du projet

Une recherche stimulante pour les installations de pointe de l’Europe

Les futures grandes installations de recherche européennes recèlent un immense potentiel de découvertes dans les domaines de la science des matériaux, de la santé et de l’énergie. Toutefois les chercheurs hautement qualifiés capables de tirer parti de ces installations et de répondre à la demande croissante des entreprises en matière de développement de produits innovants font cruellement défaut. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, l’Institut Paul Scherrer (PSI pour Paul Scherrer Institute) lancera le projet PSI-FELLOW-II-3i. Ce programme de recherche post-doctorale vise à offrir 60 bourses d’une durée de deux ans chacune, en collaboration avec 16 organisations partenaires, dont notamment des institutions de recherche et des entreprises. Le projet formera la nouvelle génération d’experts grâce aux installations de recherche du PSI, qui disposent de sources de neutrons, de muons et de lumière, et d’un laser à électrons libres à rayons X.

Objectif

Large-scale research facilities are enabling cutting edge research and innovation in important domains such as materials science, health and energy. A number of such accelerator facilities is currently under construction in Europe and will become operational within the next ten years. Thus, there is a growing need for highly qualified researchers trained in interdisciplinary research at such facilities and also an increasing demand from companies to use these facilities for developing and testing innovative products.

The Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), one of Europe’s leading research centres and particularly renowned for its accelerator facilities and long-standing industry collaborations, intends to establish a novel post-doctoral research programme with new interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral training elements.

PSI features a unique combination of excellent research facilities, including neutron, muon and light sources and (as of 2016) an X-ray free electron laser, which all exceed the possibilities of universities or industrial research centres. Motivated by the successful implementation of the FP7 COFUND programme PSI-FELLOW, PSI now wants to take post-doctoral education to the next level and proposes to set up PSI-FELLOW-II-3I. This 5-year programme will offer a total of 60 fellowships of two years duration each. The fellowships will be awarded in two calls for proposals with 30 fellowships in each call. In order to maximise the benefit for the fellows and offer the widest possible range of research topics, PSI has teamed up with 16 partner organisations (9 research institutions and 7 companies). The unique setup of PSI-FELLOW-II-3i will allow using synergies with other leading research institutions for the training of the next generation of researchers specialised in tapping the full potential of large-scale research facilities, to transfer knowledge and stimulate innovation in Europe’s industries.
