Postdoctoral position available in molecular physics/biophysics
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in
the ‘molecular physics group’ at The Department of Physics and Astronomy,
University of Aarhus, Denmark. More about the group may be found at
http://www.phys.au.dk/molecular/.
The successful candidate will have a PhD, preferably in physics or
chemistry or a relevant area. Working knowledge of lasers and accelerator
technology as well as good computational skills would be helpful.
The applicant will participate in photoabsorption spectroscopy studies of
bio-chromophores at the ELISA storage ring as well as time-resolved studies
with a femto-second laser.
The experimental facilities include an electrostatic ion-storage ring and
an ion accelerator both equipped with electrospray-ion sources. Several
lasers are available: (1) a tunable PAL laser (ns), (2) a Coherent Infinity
laser (ns) together with an OPPO for tunable light and (3) a femto-second-
laser equipped with a new TOPAS for tunable fs-laser pulses.
The research is highly interdisciplinary and the successful candidate must
show interest in chemistry, physics and to some degree biology.
The successful candidate will be expected to assist (and in some cases take
the lead) in developing and applying new laboratory methods for studies of
the photophysics of chromophore ions and to participate fully in data
analysis and in the interpretation and publication of the results.
Moreover, the candidate is expected to interact constructively with
students in the group.
The position is initially for one year with the possibility of extension.
The position is available from 1 July 2007.
Applications, accompanied by a detailed curriculum vitae and names of
references, as well as requests for further information should be addressed
to:
Lars H Andersen
