Please forward to any potentially interested person. Postdoc and PhD positions are available in the group of Andreas Osterwalder at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. We study cold molecular collisions using the recently developed merged-beams technique. The technique allows us to investigate, for the first time, chemical reactions in molecular beams at temperatures less than 1 K above absolute zero. We apply it to address fundamental questions in the low-energy scattering dynamics of polyatomic molecules. We are looking for highly motivated individuals with he following background: Postdoc — a PhD in Physics or Physical Chemistry, with expertise in cold atoms/molecules, molecular alignment/orientation, reaction dynamics, spectroscopy, or a related field. PhD — a degree in chemistry or physics, ideally with a focus on chemical/molecular physics or physical chemistry. Applications should include a cv, an outline of general research interests, and contact details of at least two referees.
