Ph.D. positions in Chemical Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology, Lausanne (EPFL)
There are currently up to three Ph.D. positions open in the Laboratoire
de Chimie Physique Moleculaire (LCPM) of the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology, Lausanne, under the direction of Prof. T.R. Rizzo. Research
leading to a doctoral degree could be performed in any one of the
following projects:
(a) Frequency resolved multiple-resonance spectroscopies with tunable
nanosecond lasers to prepare and study molecules in selected
rovibrational states at chemically signifcant energies.
(b) Photofragment-detected microwave spectroscopy of highly
vibrationally excited molecules.The use of microwave radiation to study
highly excited vibrational states allows to probe them with extremely
high resolution. This in turn, is expected to provide new insights
into their nature and into the dynamical processes (unimolecular
dissociation and vibrational energy redistribution) that occur from
them.
(c) Development and implementation of novel methods for laser isotope
separation of carbon, oxygen and silicon.
(d) Photodissociation and photoisonization dynamics of molecules
dissolved in superfluid helium droplets. A variety of state-of-the-art
laser based detection and imaging techniques will be employed to explore
the photo-dynamics of these highly quantum systems.

We are looking for highly motivated physical chemists or physicists.
Experience in laser spectroscopy, vacuum techniques, and computer
interfacing of experiments would be helpful. These positions commence
with a trial period of 6-12 months followed by official admission into
the doctoral program. Interested candidates should send a CV,
transcript, two letters of recommendation, and a copy of their diploma
thesis (for European candidates) to:
