A fully funded postdoctoral position at the Department of Chemistry,
Technical University of Denmark, within the topic:
Directing Molecular Motion with Laser Radiation
The interaction between laser radiation and matter opens fascinating
possibilities. For example, to create states of matter which cannot be
created by other means and, to control the dynamics of chemical reactions.
The position is available in the group of Klaus B. Møller and Niels
Engholm Henriksen. Our group is also the host of the “system modeling and
theory group” of the new “Center for Molecular Movies”
(http://testcmm.nbi.ku.dk or http://cmm.nbi.dk), a joint venture with the
nearby University of Copenhagen, where the research focuses on the
creation/control and detection of dynamical non-equilibrium structures on
the femtosecond timescale.
The project will (depending on background of the candidate) focus on
theoretical analysis of: (i) Laser-induced field-free (time-dependent)
orientation of molecules – (in interaction with experimentalist prof.
Henrik Stapelfeldt, Department of Chemistry, University of Aarhus,
Denmark) (ii) Selective bond breakage in molecules with shaped UV
femtosecond laser pulses, as well as other laser control objectives.
Candidates must hold a PhD degree, and must be strongly motivated and have
a relevant background in (molecular) quantum dynamics and laser-matter
interaction. The position is funded for one year and available to all EU
citizens as well as non-EU citizens. The salary is approximately 50.000
Euro (before taxes).
