DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK
EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship in Physical Chemistry
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Fellowship, tenable for up
to 4 years.
The successful applicant will play a key role in a project to build a
new instrument for characterisation of biomolecules with laser induced
evaporation. Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Klaus
Müller-Dethlefs (Tel: 01904 434526; email: [log in to unmask]).
The research fellowship is associated with a project funded under the
EPSRC instrument development programme to build a new instrument for the
characterisation of biomolecules with laser induced evaporation. The
proposed instrument will incorporate two different types of laser
desorption sources; one employing laser desorption from a rotating rod
and the other laser induced liquid beam ionisation/desorption which
uniquely allows desorption of biomolecules without denaturation.
Characterisation of the biomolecules will be achieved with laser
photoionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry and photoelectron
spectroscopy. Interested candidates should ideally have experience with
instrumentation and lasers ans a stron interest in spectrsocopy and
biomolecular chemstry and/or physics, although the latter is not essential.
Salary in the range £15,735 - £18,275 per annum, within Grade IA of the
scales for research staff.
Further particulars and details of how to apply may be obtained by
writing to the Personnel Office, University of York, Heslington, YORK
YO10 5DD or by email on [log in to unmask], quoting reference number
/6034. The closing date for applications is Friday 9 July 1999.
