A fully funded postdoctoral position at the Department of Chemistry,
Technical University of Denmark, within the topic: Directing molecular
motion with laser radiation. The position is available immediately.
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://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 is on atomic-level control on the femtosecond timescale and
will (depending on background of the candidate) focus on the theoretical
analysis of: (i) Laser-induced field-free (time-dependent) orientation of
molecules (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 have a strong background in
theoretical chemistry/physics with experience 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).
