POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION
A postdoctoral research position involving collaborative research among a fe
w groups in physics and chemistry at JAIST (Japan Advanced Institute of Sci
ence and Technology) is available. JAIST is a new (established 7 years ago)
research and educational institution established by the Japanese Ministry of
Education for graduate studies. The research involves fundamental exploratio
n of condensed matter and biological systems. Recent developments at our la
b in femtosecond visible and IR time-resolved spectroscopy will be used to o
bserve directly the dynamic response of materials undergoing sudden optical
excitation. The research involves 1) femtosecond pump-probe analysis of phot
oexcited carrier lifetimes and excitonic nonlinear effects in various GaAs e
pilayers and GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum well structures which are grown by m
olecular beam epitaxy at low temperatures. 2) Primary energy and electron tr
ansfer processes in plant photosynthesis, particularly photosystem 1 reactio
n center, 3) Primary processes in gene signal generation etc. The position
is for one year with one additional year possible based on first-year progre
ss. Experience in femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopy strongly preferred.
Applicants should have a CV and at least three letters of recommendation sen
t to the address below.
