Dear member of the molecular dynamics news mailing list,

Stockholm University announces: A PhD studentship in experimental molecular physics, at The Department of Physics, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden.

Reference nr: SU 402 33-0132-11. Deadline for applications: October 7th, 2011

Subject description
A detailed understanding of matter and material properties at an atomic and molecular level is essential for the development of future materials and technologies as well as, for example, making rational strategies to counter climate change. Ultrafast spectroscopy techniques with their capability to resolve and manipulate matter dynamics on timescales inherent to atomic and electronic motions represent a crucial part of the cutting edge of today’s research in this field, reflected in the present enormous global effort that is spent on the development of x-ray free electron laser facilities that can deliver pulses with femto- or even attosecond duration and thereby provide completely new possibilities to study fundamental dynamical processes in matter.

We have in the Molecular Physics division's Laboratory for Ultrafast Chemical Physics recently established two new world-class experimental facilities — one for studies of ultrafast atomic and molecular processes in the gas phase by time-resolved particle coincidence electron spectroscopy, and another for ultrafast time-resolved vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy of surface chemical reactions, which provides direct access to processes like making and breaking of chemical bonds on surfaces. Coupled with experiments at x-ray free-electron lasers, these facilities provide a powerful environment with a broad spectrum of advanced tools to do experimental research within one of today's most exciting fields.

The molecular physics group at Stockholm University consists of 20 members, five of whom are PhD students. The Physics Department is an internationally lively research environment, situated in the AlbaNova University Center and has about 180 employees, 250 undergraduate students and 80 PhD students. For more information about the Physics Department and the research see http://www.fysik.su.se.

Project description.
The key project goal is an understanding of the underlying quantum dynamics of atomic and molecular processes in the gas-phase, in particular the role of particle correlations and the mechanisms of photo-induced break-up of atmospheric and biologically relevant molecules, and for that purpose develop concepts and methodology for research at the new x-ray free-electron lasers. The present project focus is studies of electron dynamics and coupled electron-nuclear dynamics in small molecules by ultrafast high-energy photon pulses and femtosecond pump-probe methods. For this purpose we are currently in the laboratory assembling a light source that delivers femto-/attosecond pulses of extended ultraviolet photons (approx. 10-90 eV), to complement planned activities at external free-electron lasers.

Requirements
To be accepted as a PhD student in physics one should have studied at least four years at a University and have a BSc in Physics. These studies must include advances courses in physics during one year and an advanced degree project (a detailed description of one in progress may do). We seek a candidate with analytical capacity and good skills in English.

Terms of employment
A PhD education is four years (48 months). The four year PhD program includes at least three years of research and at most one year of course work. The position may be extended up to one year if up to 20% teaching assistance or administration is included in the contract. During the beginning of the PhD education, the student receives a study grant (“utbildningsbidrag”) and towards the end of the education, the student acquires a PhD position (“doktorandanställning”).

Application
Applications should include a letter of intent describing your motivation for applying, a CV including information on previous education, a copy of the master thesis (or “examensarbete”), other documents supporting the applicants competence and suitability for the position, and address, phone number and e-mail of two reference persons. The application can be written in English or Swedish. Evaluations will be based on results on University courses, quality of master’s thesis (or “examensarbete”), references, interviews and the letter of intent.

For Further information, please contact Richard Thomas ([log in to unmask]).

Union representatives are Bo Ekengren (SACO), Lisbeth Häggberg (Fackförbundet ST), phone +46 (0)8- 16200 and Gunnar Stenberg (SEKO) phone +46 (0)70-3164341 and Ph>D student representative [log in to unmask]

The application should be labeled with the reference number SU 402 33-0132-11 and should be received no later than October 7th 2011
E-mail your application to Gorica Nikolic, [log in to unmask] (subject SU 402 33-0132-11).
