UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL
POST DOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP
IN LASER PHOTOCHEMISTRY
Applications are invited for a 30 month Post Doctoral Research
Assistantship, funded by the Leverhulme Trust in the group of Professor
M N R Ashfold from 1.1.2000 or as soon thereafter as is mutually
convenient. The work will involve substantial extensions of the
existing H atom photofragment translational spectroscopy experiment so
as to allow:
(i) quantitative high resolution studies of the primary photochemistry
of a range of prototypical hydrides at user selected wavelengths in the
vacuum ultraviolet,
(ii) investigation of the photochemistry (and thermochemistry) of
jet-cooled free radical hydrides and
(iii) exploration of the vibrationally mediated photodissociation of
hydride molecules.

and http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/laser/laserhom.htm.
Applicants should have a PhD in Physical Chemistry/Chemical Physics;
experience with molecular beam technology, lasers and molecular
spectroscopy/photochemistry would be an advantage. Starting salary
will be on the RA1A scale in the range £17,238 - £19,869 per annum
according to age and experience.
