Post-Doctoral Appointment in
Design of laser pulses for the control of molecular transformations and
quantum state populations
A post-doctoral appointment is available to study “the design of laser
pulses for the control of molecular transformations and quantum state
populations” in the Centre for Computational Chemistry at the University of
Bristol. The work will be theoretical and will require the use of quantum
mechanical methods. It will involve both the development of theory and the
writing and running of computer codes. The project will be supervised
jointly by Dr. F.R. Manby and Professor G.G. Balint-Kurti. The appointment
will be for one year in the first instance, extendable to three years.
The work is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences
Research Council (EPSRC) and is aimed at providing an improved
understanding of the laser pulse control of chemical transformations as
well as an ab initio predictive capability to design laser pulses for this
purpose. It will involve the use and perhaps the modification of ab initio
molecular electronic structure codes as well as the writing and use of
time-dependent quantum dynamics codes. The control of several different
types of molecular processes will be explored during the course of the work.
Salary will be on nationally agreed scales.
Applications should be accompanied by a CV and the names and addresses of
two referees. They should be sent so as to arrive before 31 January 2005.
