A doctorate student position is available in the
molecular physics/cluster group of Wolfgang Kamke
at the University of Freiburg, starting 1 January 2000.
The succesful applicant will work on intracluster dynamics of
small heterogeneous clusters in the gas phase, consisting of
a few rare gas atoms and a few diatomic molecules. The study
will address questions of the energy transfer dynamics between
a highly excited atomic cluster constituent and vibrational
degrees of freedom of the molecular constituent. To achieve
electronic excitation of the atomic van der Waals clusters
in the VUV range a frequency tripling setup for dye laser
radiation will be built as part of the work. Clusters will be
ionized, and time of flight detection will be used. During the
progress of the experiment, electron-ion coincidence techniques
are planned to be applied.
Scientists with a diploma (or equivalent) in physics or
physical chemistry who are interested in this field are asked
to apply. Experience in laser and VUV radiation experiments,
vacuum handling, and computer programming may come in helpful
but is not a requirement.
The position is initially limited until 31 december 1999,
but continuation for a few more years to complete the PhD work
is expected. Payment will be according to German 1/2 BAT2a rules,
which currently is around DM 2500-3000 per month (depending on age
and family status), subject to taxes and social security deductions.
Freiburg is a very pleasant town in the south-west of Germany,
one of the warmest and sunniest cities in the country and still
has excellent access to skiing areas in winter. The just as famous
city of Basel is rather close, and France is just around the corner.
If interested, please send an application letter and a CV to the
below address.
