PhD and
Postdoc Position
Ultrafast
Spectroscopy, 2D-IR Spectroscopy:
Chemistry and Biophysics in Realtime
We are offering a PhD position and a Postdoc
position in our group at
the Institute of Biophysics, University of Frankfurt, Germany.
Our group investigates molecular structure
and dynamics, addressing phenomena
at the intersection of chemistry, physics and biology. For
this purpose we
develop novel spectroscopic techniques, mostly involving
ultrafast multidimensional
IR spectroscopy. Depending on your qualification and
interest, projects in different
areas are available:
-
Catalysis and reaction dynamics
-
Dynamics of natural and designed proteins
-
Development of novel spectroscopic
techniques
Our group runs two laser labs with four
amplified femtosecond laser systems
which can be synchronized to cover delays from femtoseconds to
milliseconds. We
operate a protein laboratory and have access to excellent
facilities and instrumentation
for protein characterization. For computations we have access to
a high
performance linux cluster. For more information on our research,
please have a
look at our homepage
(http://www.biophys.uni-frankfurt.de/~bredenbeck).
Your
qualifications: We are looking for a highly
motivated researcher with an active attitude and excellent
communicative and
collaborative skills. You should have (or be about to obtain) a
degree in Chemistry, Physics
or Biology, be enthusiastic about fundamental experimental
research, and
ideally have a background in several of the following fields:
physical chemistry,
physical organic chemistry, protein biophysics, biochemistry,
lasers, nonlinear
optics, infrared spectroscopy, femtosecond spectroscopy,
theoretical chemistry.
Applications should be send by email,
including a cover letter, your CV,
and names and addresses of two referees who would write a letter
of recommendation.
For further information please contact Prof.
Dr. Jens Bredenbeck, ([log in to unmask])
