Theoretical and computational studies of ultracold molecular gases
One postdoctoral and several graduate student fellowships are available to
support research work with Roman Krems at the Department of Chemistry of
the University of British Columbia. The focus of our research is on
methods to create and thermally isolate (or trap) molecules at
temperatures less than 1 Kelvin, dynamics of inelastic collisions and
chemical reactions of molecules at temperatures near absolute zero and
mechanisms to control dynamics of atoms and molecules at subKelvin
temperatures with external electric and magnetic fields.
The postdoctoral fellowship is for one year with the possibility of
renewal for the second year. We are part of a big center involving seven
experimental (Kirk Madison, David Jones, Ed Grant, John Hepburn, Valery
Milner, Ruth Signorel, Taka Momose) and two theory (Moshe Shapiro, Roman
Krems) groups joined at UBC in a combined research of ultracold matter.
Applicants should be within three years of their PhD graduation.
The start date for this position will be 1 June 2006 or any time
thereafter.
The field of ultracold molecules is rapidly expanding. For some of the
recent overview of the field, see the special issue of the European
Physical Journal D 31, 149 (2004) or the review articles in
Int. Rev. Phys. Chem. 22, 73 (2003) and Int. Rev. Phys. Chem. 24, 99 (2005),
some accessible through our webpage.

The University of British Columbia is ranked as one of Canada's top
Universities.
Inquiries and applications should be directed to Roman Krems:

The UBC is among the largest and most beautifully located research
Universities in Canada. Vancouver's natural assets and temperate climate
make it one of the best cities in the world in which to live. The annual
quality of life survey released by Mercer Human Resource Consulting in the
past two years placed Vancouver third in world and a recent CNN survey
ranked Vancouver as the most attractive city in the world.
