A Postdoctoral Fellowship (from 1/7/2000) and a PhD Studentship (from
1/10/2000) are available in the group of Dr. Jeremy Harvey, at the
University of Bristol, U.K. This is as yet a small & young group, with
lots of opportunities for incoming members to contribute new ideas.
Bristol is a small and dynamic city (ca. 500 000 inhabitants), about 2
hours to the west of London.
Further details are available at
http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/~chjnh/jeremy.htm, and informal enquiries

Postdoctoral Fellowship
This position is available as a part of the European Union Research
Training Network on Multiply Charged Ions in the Gas-Phase. The
proposed starting date is the 1st of July 2000 or as soon thereafter
as is mutually convenient. The work will involve:
* Ab initio computations on small multiply charged systems, such as the
ArC2+ or [CF2,H2]2+ systems which are being investigated experimentally
in other groups of the network.
* The development of global potential energy surfaces for
multiply-charged systems, either by interpolation of ab initio
computations or by development and parameterisation of semi-empirical
models. The range of problems studied here will range from diatomic
systems as described above to ion-surface systems.
* Chemical dynamics studies of motion on the potential energy surfaces,
using classical, semi-classical and quantum-mechanical methods.
There will be opportunity to travel to meet other groups in the network.
The salary will be towards the lower end of the RA1A scale (e.g.
ca.£18,000 per annum), dependent on age and experience. Funding is
available for a total of 3 years.
Applicants should have a PhD in either Chemistry or Physics, and an
interest in the field of gas-phase ion chemistry and physics. Previous
experience in this field, and/or in scientific computing, ab initio
computational work, or other areas of chemical physics, would be an
advantage. The position is available through the Training and Mobility
of Researchers programme of the European Union, and is restricted to
nationals of EU countries (as well as some associated countries),
excluding the UK.
PhD Studentship
This position is available to EU citizens (including UK!) from October
2000. The subject is relatively free, with the main requirement being
that it involves computational or theoretical work relating to a
problem in the field of chemical reactivity. Work on any of the areas
discussed on the research section of the Group's homepage is obviously
possible, as are other projects if mutually convenient.
Applicants should hold or expect to hold a first or upper second class
degree, or equivalent, in chemistry, chemical physics or physics.
