POSTDOCTORAL POSITION AT COMPLUTENSE UNIVERSITY, MADRID
April, 2000
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral fellowship in Gas Phase
Reaction Dynamics under the supervision of Professor F. Javier Aoiz and
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 up to 3 years duration) for young post-doctoral
researchers with experimental and/or theoretical skills in the field of
Reaction Dynamics is available from April 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.
