Dear Colleagues,
I would be grateful if you could bring this announcement to the attention of interested candidates.
Fully Funded PhD Positions in Chemical Dynamics
4 PhD fully funded (fees + stipend) projects are offered in the Chemical Dynamics group at Heriot-Watt University for UK/EU students, starting in September and October 2018. The closing date for applications is the 31st January 2018.
For full details, see the adverts at FindAPhD.com via the links below, or contact the supervisor listed by email.
Imaging Molecular Collisions
The dynamics of inelastic and reactive collisions of radicals important in combustion, astrochemistry and atmospheric chemistry, will be determined using a combination of crossed molecular beams and velocity-map ion-imaging.

Supervisor: Prof M. L. Costen, [log in to unmask]
Probing the surfaces of ionic liquids by reactive-atom scattering
The structure of the extreme outer layers of technologically important ionic liquids, their mixtures, and solutions will be probed using reactive-atom scattering, a novel method based on the laser-spectroscopic detection of the gas-phase products of selected reactive projectiles.

Computational Studies of Anti-Cancer Photochemistry
There is much interest in utilising light as an anti-cancer treatment. There remains much to understand and further develop however, and this project will explore this photochemistry using theoretical and computational methods.

Spectroscopy & Dynamics of Atmospherically Relevant Molecules in the Time and Frequency Domains
The photochemical dynamics of small molecules of atmospheric relevance will be studied using a combination of femtosecond time-resolved and nanosecond frequency-resolved spectroscopy, with velocity-map imaging of photoelectrons and ions.
