Applications are invited for fellowships for post-graduate students to
receive advanced training in the field of molecular photonic materials.
Fellowships are available for studies in the following fields:
· Synthesis, characterization, and study of the light-induced
processes in multi-component systems or photo/pH-sensitive dendrimers,
· Development of luminescent probes, electroluminescent devices or
functional rotaxanes,
· High-resolution laser spectroscopy using multiphoton ionization and
fluorescence excitation techniques.
Research at the MolPhotonics Training Site is concentrated on “High-
resolution spectroscopy of large (supra)molecular systems” and “Photo-
induced processes in multicomponent systems” in the groups of Prof. Luisa
De Cola ([log in to unmask]) , Prof. Wybren Jan Buma
([log in to unmask]), and Dr. Fred Brouwer ([log in to unmask]).
Depending on the preference and skills of the fellow, training comprises
hands-on experience with state-of-the-art procedures in synthesis, high-
resolution spectroscopy, and time-resolved (femto-to-microsecond)
absorption and emission spectroscopy under the supervision of experts in
the field. A broad range of auxiliary facilities (computational methods, X-
ray diffraction, spectroscopic techniques) are available to support the
training. The MolPhotonics research groups of the Institute of Molecular
Chemistry (IMC) take part in the interuniversity Holland Research School of
Molecular Chemistry (HRSMC), which organises seminars, advanced courses and
international summer schools for post-graduate students (see homepage
HRSMC: http://www.hrsmc.nl) in English.

The research of the MolPhotonics groups revolves around the excited state
properties of supramolecular and multicomponent systems, such as
luminescent probes, photosensitive dendrimers and functional rotaxanes, and
their relation with macroscopic material properties. The ultimate aim is to
design new photonic materials with user-defined properties. The training
involves the process of development and study of molecules and materials,
i.e., their synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization, and
the study of the mechanisms and dynamics of their light-induced processes.
Selected molecules are investigated under supersonic expansion conditions
with high-resolution laser spectroscopy in the gas phase. The research
groups have much experience in and very good facilities for preparation and
structural characterization. There is sophisticated equipment for
continuous and femto-to-microsecond time-resolved spectroscopic
measurements, such as fluorescence and absorption spectrometers, Nd-YAG and
dye lasers, nanosecond gated CCD and streak camera picosecond detection
systems, a modular UV/VIS/NIR (time-resolved) emission measurement system,
photoelectron spectrometer and equipment for multiphoton ionisation. The
educational programme of the Holland Research School of Molecular Chemistry
provides intensive theoretical training for the post-graduate students.

At MolPhotonics, fellows can be trained in the synthesis of inorganic and
organic multicomponent systems. They will use various techniques (NMR, IR,
UV/Vis spectroscopy, ab initio calculations) to characterize the molecular
and electronic structures of the systems. Most importantly, they will learn
to further develop the field of molecular photonic materials and how to use
state-of-the-art time-resolved absorption and emission spectroscopic
techniqes and multiphoton ionisation in combination with high-resolution
spectroscopy to study these materials. A broad range of scientific and
technical facilities is available to support the training. High-quality
supervision is guaranteed by leading experts in the field and specialised
technical staff will assist and instruct the fellows in using the
sophisticated spectroscopic equipment. The fellows may thus receive
experience in synthesis, the use of state-of-the-art spectroscopic
techniques and/or theoretical calculations in this growth area, depending
on their ability and preference.

We invite postgraduate researchers pursuing doctoral studies in
spectroscopic and (in)organic-physical related subjects to apply for a
Fellowship to perform research in one of the MolPhotonics groups. In order
to be eligible for such a Fellowship the applicant must be 35 years old or
less at the start of their appointment. The applicant should be a national
of a European Community Member State or an Associated State (Bulgaria, the
Czech Republic, theRepublic of Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Israel,
Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia,
and Slovenia), or have resided in the EU for at least five years
immediately prior to their selection. The duration of the Fellowship is at
least 3 months and at most 12 months. Fellows will receive a contribution
of 1200 Euro/month for subsistence and 100 Euro/month for travel costs.

Applicants should submit their curriculum vitae to the contact person in
charge of the project in which they are interested. They should also
arrange for a letter from their supervisor confirming that the fellow’s
period of training at the Training Site is recognised as an integral part
of his/her doctoral studies. All material should be sent to one of the
following:
