Two postdoctoral positions in theoretical chemical physics are available in
the group of Tamar Seideman at the National Research Council of Canada. The
starting date is flexible.
One of the positions in intended for collaborative research with the
experimental group of Robert Gordon at the University of Illinois at
Chicago and is supported by a joint NSF grant.
The postdoctoral fellows will carry out research on one (or more) of the
following problems:
1) Single molecule dynamics induced by tunneling current.
- Quantum transport through, and current-triggered dynamics in molecular-
scale devices
- New forms of surface nanochemistry induced by a scanning tunneling
microscope

in the fields of molecular alignment and molecular optics in moderately
intense laser fields.

3) Molecular interferometry in configuration space. Use of coherent control
techniques to explore molecular continua. Future work in this area will
extend our gas phase theory to study decay and decoherence pathways at
interfaces.

of the information content of:
- Time-resolved photoelectron energy and angular distributions
- Time- and angle-resolved photoelectron-photoion coincidence spectra

Experiments in Robert Gordon's lab in the areas of molecular optics and
alignment (item 2) are ongoing, and ultrafast time-resolved experiments
are being planned.
