A postdoctoral research assistantship in laser photochemistry is available in the group of Prof Mike Ashfold at the School of Chemistry, University of Bristol UK. Applications are invited for a post-doctoral research assistanship funded by the Leverhulme Trust from 1 October 1999. The work will involve extension of the technique of H atom photofragment translational spectroscopy in order to: (1) make quantitative high resolution studies of the primary photochemistry of a range of prototypical hydrides at user selected wavelengths in the vacuum ultraviolet. (2) investigate the photochemistry (and thermochemistry) of jet-cooled free radical hydrides (3) explore the vibrationally mediated photodissociation of hydride molecules. For recent illustrations of work under this program see J. Chem. Phys. 110, p281 (1999) Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 1, p45 (1999); 1, p767 (1999) and 1, p3247 (1999). 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.
