Applications are invited for a postdoctoral research assistantship to work
under the supervision of Professor Brian Howard on an EPSRC funded project
on the Microwave Spectroscopy of Weakly Bound Open-shell Complexes of NO.
The position is available for a period of up to three years, starting in November
2009 or as soon as possible thereafter.
This is a joint project with Professors Richard Wheatley, Tim Wright and Dr
Nick Besley at the University of Nottingham. The project involves the
investigation of the structure, dynamics and intermolecular interactions of
weakly bound complexes of NO. The work at Oxford will concentrate on the
molecular beam microwave fourier transform spectroscopy of such complexes.
There will be opportunities to collaborate with those at Nottingham on the
intermolecular forces and on the quantum dynamics of these systems
The Howard group is located in the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry
Laboratory at Oxford http://ptcl.chem.ox.ac.uk/. You can find out more about
the Howard research group at

Applicants should either already have a PhD in a relevant area of chemistry or
physical sciences, or have submitted their thesis prior to taking up the post.
For this post, prior experience in high resolution molecular spectroscopy,
structure/dynamics of weakly bound molecular complexes, open-shell
molecular species, intermolecular interactions, laboratory studies of isolated
gas phase molecules or the use of molecular beam techniques would be an
advantage. Applicants should be adaptable, and willing to learn new
experimental and theoretical techniques.
