Dynamics of interfacial water studied with two-dimensional surface
vibrational spectroscopy
Dear Colleagues,
I write to ask your help in finding suitable candidates for a post-
doctoral research position in my research group (Biosurface Spectroscopy)
in AMOLF: the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics in
Amsterdam.
We have recently developed a surface analog of 2D-IR spectroscopy, namely
2D-Sum Frequency Generation (2D-SFG)*; the paper was highlighted in
both ‘Science’ and ‘Nature’ editorials for its potential in elucidating
surface structures and their time evolution. This novel spectroscopic tool
is ideally suited to investigate interfacial water, which still presents
us with many puzzles.
Because of the technical challenges associated with our 2D-SFG
experiments, this position ideally should be filled by someone with a
background in advanced (multi-dimensional) optical spectroscopies,
femtosecond surface dynamics measurements or, more generally, the
generation and control of femtosecond pulsed light.
AMOLF is a wonderful place to work, with a large technical staff for the
fabrication of new experimental apparatuses and trouble shooting of
experimental difficulties. Amsterdam is a congenial city which boasts
several world famous musical venues, more bikes than people and yes
(sometimes the clichés are true) wonderful flowers for sale on many street
corners.
The position could run for anytime up to four years. Please contact me
(see coordinates below) for details of the research and the position.
Thank you very much, all my best,
Mischa Bonn
