POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AT COMPLUTENSE UNIVERSITY, MADRID
November, 2000
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship in Gas Phase
Reaction Dynamics under the supervision of Professors Javier Aoiz and Luis
Banares funded by the European Union RTN (Research Training Network)
programme, as part of the RTN Network on "Reaction Dynamics: experimental
and theoretical studies on the dynamics of reactions of atoms and radicals
of fundamental and practical importance". This programme involves seven
laboratories: University of Perugia (Italy), University of Oxford (UK),
University of Nijmegen (The Netherlands), University of Bielefeld
(Germany), University Complutense Madrid (Spain), University of Stuttgart
(Germany), University of Muenchen (Germany).
The projects to be developed in our laboratory are concerned with
experimental studies of photon initiated elementary chemical reactions in
a molecular jet/beam and of photodissociation of molecules containing
sulfur and halogens by using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization
(REMPI) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS). In addition,
theoretical work based on quasi-classical trajectory and quantum
mechanical reactive scattering calculations of the dynamics of the
reactions studied experimentally will be performed.
The position for young post-doctoral researchers with experimental and/or
theoretical skills in the field of Reaction Dynamics is available from
November 2000, although the exact commencement date is negotiable. Given
the strong links between the different groups in the RTN, the post-doc is
expected to spend up to one month each year in another laboratory of the
RTN "Reaction Dynamics". Salary is about 3000 euro/month (before taxes).
Under the terms of the RTN Programme, the young researcher applicant (aged
35 years or less) must be a national of a Community Member State or a
State associated with the RTN Programme (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic,
Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania,
Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia). The applicants must not
be national of the state in which the participant appointing them is
established and must not have carried out their normal activities in that
state for more than 12 of the 24 months prior to their appointment.
Interested candidates should send a Curriculum Vitae to the address below
using conventional or electronic mail. The name and addresses of two
referees should also be provided at this time. Informal inquiries are also
welcome.
