######################################################################## PICNIC: Product Imaging and Correlation: Non-adiabatic Interactions in Chemistry ######################################################################## PICNIC is a recently funded Research Training Network funded by the European Commission. The proposal is concerned with the ways in which electronically excited molecules transfer energy into other forms as the result of non-adiabatic coupling, and links leading European laboratories and instrument manufacturers, with appropriate and complementary expertise in this area, to develop new experimental probes of the dynamics of excited states. Postdoctoral positions for up to 24 months are available in the laboratories of Dr. Marc JJ Vrakking (FOM, Amsterdam, [log in to unmask]), Prof. Michael NR Asfold (Bristol, [log in to unmask]), Prof. Theofanis N. Kitsopoulos (FORTH, Heraklion, [log in to unmask]), Prof. Hanspeter Helm (Freiburg, [log in to unmask]), Prof. David H Parker (Nijmegen, [log in to unmask]), Profs. Jean-Michel Mestdagh and Benoit Soep (CEA, Saclay, [log in to unmask]), Dr. Benjamin J Whitaker (Leeds, [log in to unmask]). Postdoctoral industrial training opportunities for up to 12 months are also available with Photek Ltd. (Hastings, [log in to unmask]), La Vision GmbH (Gottingen, [log in to unmask]) and Amplitude Technologies SA, (Paris, [log in to unmask]). There is scope to combine the research positions and industrial training opportunities into a single job description for interested candidates. The positions, which are available IMMEDIATELY, are open to EU nationals and members of associated states who hold a doctoral degree and are aged 35 years or less at the time of appointment (with an allowance made for time spent in compulsory military service or child care). The associated member states are: Bulgaria, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Israel. If you wish to know more about the available positions please contact any one of the participants or the project co-ordinator ([log in to unmask]).
