Applications are invited for three EPSRC-funded postdoctoral Research Assistant positions in the Laser Chemistry, Spectroscopy and Dynamics Group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Bristol.  The successful applicants will focus on:

Post 1 with Dr S.J. Greaves - The design and implementation of a liquid microjet in vacuum system within a novel miniaturized molecular beam apparatus to investigate the dynamics of gas-liquid surface reactions. For informal enquiries, please contact [log in to unmask], telephone +44 (0) 117 928 9938

Post 2 with Prof M.N.R. Ashfold - Photodissociation dynamics in gas and condensed phases.  For informal enquiries, please contact [log in to unmask], telephone +44 (0) 117 928 8312

Post 3 with Prof A.J. Orr-Ewing - Chemical reaction dynamics in gas and condensed phases.  For informal enquiries, please contact [log in to unmask], telephone +44 (0) 117 928 7672.

Further details and an application form can be found at
https://www.bris.ac.uk/boris/jobs/feeds/ads?ID=104091

You should have (or be about to receive) a Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical physics, or related discipline, and a proven record of experience with some of the following: liquid jet in vacuum technology, tuneable nanosecond or femtosecond pulsed laser systems, high vacuum technology, velocity map imaging methods.

The positions are available from 1 February 2012 for 2 years (post 1) and 1.5 years (post 2 and 3) in the first instance, though each may be extendable for a further year by mutual agreement.

If successful, you may be appointed either on a fixed term or an open-ended contract depending on the extent of your previous relevant research experience.
