I would be most grateful if you could draw the following post, in the Meech group at the University of East Anglia, to the attention of suitable candidates. A PhD in physical Chemistry (or similar) and experience in ultrafast/THz spectroscopy for measurements of molecular dynamics in liquids will be advantageous. Full details are available at http://www.uea.ac.uk/hr/jobs/ra/ra784.htm Many Thanks Steve Meech SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY SENIOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATE Further Particulars (REF: RA784) The Post The main duties of the post involve managing an ultrafast laser experiment employed for both the measurement of ultrafast molecular dynamics in liquids and excited state dynamics. Routine alignment and maintenance of lasers and optical components is essential. The post will also involve the mathematical and statistical analysis of experimental data and the drafting of publications associated with it. The research associate will also be responsible for day to day supervision and training of research students The Project We have designed and built an ultrafast laser apparatus capable of measuring both ground state liquid dynamics through polarisability relaxation and excited state decay dynamics through fluorescence up-conversion. The project involves an investigation of the role of the medium in controlling the excited state dynamics of a series of synthetic analogs of the green fluorescent protein chromophore. This will require expertise in either (or both) molecular dynamics of liquids or ultrafast excited state dynamics. ***************************************** Steve Meech School of Chemistry University of East Anglia Norwich NR4 7TJ Tele: 44(0)1603 593141 http://www.uea.ac.uk/che/people/faculty/meechs ***************************************** To join or leave the molecular-dynamics-news email list, go to: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/molecular-dynamics-news.html
