Dear Colleagues,
Can you please bring the message below to the candidates that might be interested in the post?
Research Associate
University of Leicester - Department of Chemistry
Full-time, fixed-term contract for up to 2 years
Ref: SEN00813
Together our staff and students are discovering innovative ways to change the world for the better and there has never been a more exciting time for you to join us. We are ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide and have an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research. We are led by discovery and innovation, with the synergy between research and learning at the core of our activity.
You are invited to join an internationally leading research group. One of our focuses is on nanoscience, which employs superfluid helium droplets as the nanoreactors to fabricate nanomaterials. Unlike any conventional techniques, with helium droplets we have a very high degree of control over the growth of nanomaterials, and can fabricate novel materials with almost unlimited combination of materials. The other mainstream research in our group is spectroscopic investigation of molecules and molecular clusters using a depletion spectroscopy technique. Combined with ab initio calculations, structures of molecular clusters can be determined and hence the species formed in the droplets can be identified.
You will utilize spectroscopy and investigate free radicals embedded in superfluid helium droplets, with major focus on vibrational spectroscopy. You will also have opportunity to work on nanoscience and develop novel nanoparticles and nanowires. To apply you will need to have a PhD or postdoctoral experience in some relevant aspects, such as molecular spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, or nanoscience. Familiarity with molecular beams and laser techniques is desirable.
Informal enquiries are welcome and should be made to Dr Shengfu Yang via [log in to unmask] or 0116 252 2127.
Many thanks,
Dr Shengfu Yang
