Dear Colleagues,
please point interested students to the following PhD position -- a printable PDF for distribution on announcement boards can be downloaded at https://desycloud.desy.de/index.php/s/9djw3H1ChP1Wljg
To see the chemistry, you have to follow the electrons. Indeed, it is becoming evident that one has to study the combined electronic and nuclear dynamics of molecules in order to understand the elementary steps of chemical dynamics. Based on previous and current molecular-frame-photoelectron-angular-distribution-imaging experiments performed in our group we are preparing for experiments to image ultrafast dynamics in complex molecules, such as indole and the indole-water cluster. These experiments are targeted at the disentangling of ultrafast electronic dynamics coupled to femtosecond nuclear dynamics.
The successful candidate will have an outstanding Ph.D. in experimental physics, physical chemistry, or a related field. Extensive experience with ultrashort-pulse lasers is required; experience with few-femtosecond laser pulses, ultra-high-vacuum equipment, or electron imaging is a bonus.
We offer unique research opportunities in an interesting and open team and with first-class experimental and computational facilities. Our group is embedded in the Center for Free-Electron-Laser Science, DESY, the University of Hamburg and the excellence cluster Hamburg Center for Ultrafast Imaging.
