Applications are invited for 4 year PhD positions within the Doctoral
Training Programme in Atomic and Molecular Control, hosted by UCL Chemistry
and Physics Departments.

BACKGROUND

The chemical, physical, biological and bulk properties of matter are
determined at the atomic and molecular level. Recent developments at the
interface between chemistry and physics have enabled us to begin to monitor
and manipulate many key aspects of atomic and molecular behaviour.

The development of more sophisticated methods to monitor and control the
behaviour of atoms, molecules and biomolecules is a major challenge for the
physical sciences for the 21st century. This control technology will allow
us to develop functioning molecule-sized devices (nanotechnology), reduce
inefficient energy losses in organic semiconductors (materials), and probe
living cell function (biology). One of the biggest challenges in the
development of the fundamental science underpinning atomic and molecular
control is its multidisciplinary and highly technical nature.

CURRENT RESEARCH THEMES

The ~30 research groups aligned with this programme have a wide range of
experimental and theoretical backgrounds and uniquely combine experience in
controlling the behaviour of species ranging from electrons, positrons and
atoms to large molecules in the gas-phase and the condensed phase.

Keywords and phrases: Astrochemistry; Catalysis; Coherent control;
Computational chemistry; Femtosecond molecular dynamics; Gas-phase
electrochemistry and bioelectrochemistry; Gas-phase spectroscopy, dynamics
and reactivity of atoms, molecules and biomolecules; Scattering theory; Soft
matter and interfaces; Surface adsorption and reactions; Positron physics;
Quantum computation; Quantum magnetism; Ultracold atoms and molecules

DOCTORAL TRAINING PROGRAMME

This Doctoral Training Programme will provide bespoke training for young
scientists in the field of atomic and molecular control.

Key aims of the programme are:
1. To train a cohort of exceptionally talented PhD students in atomic and
molecular control. 
2. To support this training by providing customized specialist and
transferable skills courses.
3. To stimulate the development of an interconnected network of research
projects that generates a supportive and sustainable multidisciplinary
community across the chemistry and physics departments at UCL.

The major part of the teaching and training will be provided in the first
year. Students will attend lecture courses and techniques training workshops
with assessed assignments. In the first term, as well as attending lectures,
the students will undertake a literature project on the topic of their MRes
and PhD research. In the second term they will, in addition to taking
further non-examinable courses, begin a self-contained research project
which will be examined at the end of the first year.

The main body of PhD research will be carried out during years 2-4.

HOW TO APPLY

There are vacancies to work with groups based in Physical Chemistry
(http://www.chem.ucl.ac.uk/research/physical.html). If you are interested,
please contact members of staff directly and copy your email to Dr Daren
Caruana [log in to unmask], who is coordinating all applications for the
Doctoral Training Programme starting in October 2009. 

Applicants must expect to achieve a first or upper second class degree in
Chemistry, Physics or other relevant subject and should satisfy the standard
EPSRC UK residency requirements. The stipend is the standard EPSRC PhD
student stipend plus London Allowance.
