Two post doc positions and three PhD positions in Femtosecond spectroscopy
are available immediately in the Chergui group at the Institut de Physique
de la Matière Condensée, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland. The
candidates will be involved in projects concerning the study in "real-time"
of electronic and structural dynamics of molecules in liquids and solids.
More specifically, these projects concern:
a) the ultrafast spectroscopy on retinal proteins such as
bacteriorhodopsin (bR).
b) femtosecond studies of non-polar solvent dynamics.
c) Photochemical reaction dynamics in the condensed phase.
The candidates are also expected to take part in the other activities of
the group (see Web site).
Our laser lab is equipped with a tunable nanosecond OPO laser, an excimer
laser and two femtosecond laser set-ups (one optimized for < 50 fs pulses),
a home-built TiSa oscillator and two home-built NOPA's (20-30 fs). In
addition, spectroscopic (Raman, UV-Vis) and cryogenic equipment is also
available.
Applications from students with a degree in physics, chemical physics, or
physical chemistry, and with a strong motivation for fundamental physics
are highly encouraged. The appointment is for one year, renewable every
year up to 4 years for PhD students. Interested applicants should send a
resume and arrange to have two letters of recommandation sent to:
Prof. S. Haacke or Prof. Majed CHERGUI
