Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship to develop
cooling and trapping techniques of molecules with specific applications
to molecular radicals. This position will be in the group of Professor
E. A. Hinds at the Sussex Centre for Optical and Atomic Physics and is
funded by PPARC, as part of the "Measurement of the Electric Dipole
Moment of the Electron" project.
The projects to be developed in our laboratory are concerned with
creating a source of molecular radicals (YbF and BaF in
particular), translationally and internally cooling the molecules that
are formed and performing high resolution spectroscopic measurements
upon them.
This position would particularly suit a recently-graduated chemical
physicist or physical chemist who has a strong interest in the
manipulation and trapping of molecules and considerable experience with
some of the following: lasers, molecular beams, resonance enhanced
multiphoton ionisation (REMPI) or time-of-flight mass spectrometry
(TOFMS). Good oral and written presentation skills and the
ability to work amiably in a group are absolutely essential.
The position (for up to 3 years duration) is available from Sep 2000
although the exact start date is negotiable. There are no
nationality requirements for this position.
