DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY, THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK EPSRC DPhil studentship in Physical Chemistry Applications are invited for a DPhil studentship for 3 years in the group of Professor Klaus Müller-Dethlefs. The student will work with a postdoctoral research fellow on a project to build and use a new instrument for characterisation of biomolecules with laser induced evaporation. Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Klaus Müller-Dethlefs (Tel: 01904 434526; email: [log in to unmask]). The studentship is associated with a project funded under the EPSRC instrument development programme to build a new instrument for the characterisation of biomolecules with laser induced evaporation. The proposed instrument will incorporate two different types of laser desorption sources; one employing laser desorption from a rotating rod and the other laser induced liquid beam ionisation/desorption which uniquely allows desorption of biomolecules without denaturation. Characterisation of the biomolecules will be achieved with laser photoionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry and photoelectron spectroscopy. Interested candidates should have a strong interest in spectroscopy and biomolecular chemstry. -- Professor Klaus Muller-Dethlefs Chair of Physical Chemistry Department of Chemistry The University of York York YO10 5DD United Kingdom Tel: +44 1904 434526 Direct Fax: +44 1904 434527 Secr Tel:+44 1904 432525 Dept Fax: +44 1904 432516
