POSTDOCTORAL POSITION
A postdoctoral position in femtosecond physical chemistry is open at
the department of chemistry of Ecole Normale Superieure (ENS) of
Paris, in the CNRS unit 8640. The research project deals with
photoinduced elementary processes in organic materials and biological
photoreceptors in condensed phase, studied by time-resolved
femtosecond UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The project involves
the development of a pump-probe set-up with sub-50 fs time-resolution
by using an amplified Ti:Sapphire laser and a visible OPA. Two 500-fs
dye-laser systems and a pump-probe set-up are presently available for
absorption and gain spectroscopy with subpicosecond resolution, in
addition to a streak camera for time-resolved fluorescence. This
research will be developed in a group involving three permanent
researchers, in a collaborative effort with other ENS groups in
synthesis and theoretical chemistry.
ENS is located downtown Paris in the Latin district. The position is
for one year, starting between October and December 2000. The
applicant should be a non-European, less than 35 years old
postdoctoral fellow belonging to one of the 29 countries of OECD. The
salary is 12000FF (1829 Euros) per month plus health insurance for
the applicant. Experience in femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy
will be considered. Applicants should send their CV and three letters
of recommendation to the address below.
