PhD fellowship Time Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy 1247 views

Time Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy: PhD fellowship (Chemistry) in “Time Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Chemical Dynamics” at the  Highfield Campus, University of Southampton.

Deadline:   Wednesday 31 August 2016
Reference:  716316EB
A PhD position is available starting from September 2016 on an exciting experimental project for development of ultrafast extreme ultraviolet (XUV) photoelectron spectroscopy for studying the chemical dynamics.

Project tittle: Time Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Chemical Dynamics”.

Project description: The PhD project involves:

1. The experimental development and implementation of a state of the art XUV photoelectron spectroscopy experiment within the institutes laser lab & at international X-ray free electron laser facilities.
2. The experiments aim to uncover some of the most fundamental aspects of photochemistry that underlie light initiated processes in chemistry and biology.

The development of these sources will remove the limited observation window of most spectroscopy techniques and will allow us to uncover the full reaction pathway.

The position is open in the group of Dr Russell Minns at the University of Southampton.

Further Information:

1. General enquiries should be made to Russell Minns: s.minns@soton.ac.uk

Any queries on the application process should be made: pgafnes@soton.ac.uk

Note: Applications will be considered in the order that they are received, and the position will be considered filled when a suitable candidate has been identified.

Duration: 3 years

Eligibility:

1. Applicants from the UK can apply (Due to funding restrictions this position is only open to UK applicants)
2. Candidate must have obtained at least an upper IInd class degree in chemistry or physics.
3. Funding will cover fees and a stipend of £ 14,296 per annum.
