Subject: Postdoctoral Research Associate Position: Femtosecond VUV Generation & Time-Resolved Photoelectron Imaging (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK)
From: Dave Townsend <[email-masked]>

A postdoctoral research associate position is available as part of ongoing chemical physics/physical chemistry research at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, UK) funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The work is a collaboration between Dr Dave Townsend (Principal Investigator), Prof. Daniele Faccio and Prof. Martin Paterson. The project has developed a source of femtosecond laser pulses in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region of the electromagnetic spectrum through exploiting non-linear processes in rare-gases. This source will now be used to conduct time-resolved photoelectron imaging experiments investigating the dynamics of energy redistribution in the electronically excited states of model biomolecular systems. 

The position is available from the 4th January 2016 or as soon as possible thereafter for a period of one year. 

You should have, or be about to obtain, a PhD in a relevant area of physics / physical chemistry. Previous experience with ultrafast lasers and vacuum technology is essential. Experience with charged particle imaging, MatLab programming and a computational chemistry package such as Gaussian is also highly desirable.

Salary will be in the range £30,434 to £37,394.

Informal enquiries should be made to the principal investigator: Dr Dave Townsend (Email: [email-masked])

The closing date for applications is Monday 16th November 2015. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will take place during the period 23rd – 27st November 2015

For further information and application details please go to: www.hw.ac.uk/apply-jobs (job ref. code is IRC1244). Please note that applications submitted directly to the principal investigator will not be accepted.
