PhD- und Post-Doctoral positions in Physical Chemistry at the Technische Universität München Selective cluster catalysis: Laser spectroscopy of chiral molecules and metal clusters In the frame of a major EU project our group will study isomer- and enantiomer-selective nanocatalysis. We will follow new paths to reach this goal by combining different fields of research in physics and physical chemistry. These involve production of metal clusters by supersonic beams and laser desorption, mass separation by ion-optical devices, high-resolution gas phase laser spectroscopy, surface physics and photochemistry. Gas phase laser spectroscopy will be used to recognize and photochemically tune metal clusters and their complexes with isomeric and chiral molecules. Furthermore, it serves as a means to characterise the product molecules of nanocatalytic processes taking part on size-selected and surface-deposited metal clusters. For this project, several positions for PhD-students and post-doctoral fellows are available in the group of Prof. Ulrich Heiz. A wide experimental infrastructure is available, involving a large variety of spectroscopic and mass spectrometric methods, wavelength-tunable lasers and modern surface analysis techniques. Our research group is known for its experience in surface science as well as high-resolution laser spectroscopy. Your tasks will be to design, construct and perform experiments within this european project. We offer an interesting and interdiscipinary field of work, cooperative team work, and the attractive and stimulating scientific environment of the Technische Universität München. The project is integrated in european and international networks.
