The Ultrafast Chiral Dynamics Laboratory at University of Basel is looking for a postdoctoral researcher with experience in ultrafast spectroscopy to join our interdisciplinary team.
Our laboratory develops time-resolved laser spectroscopy techniques to capture both the structural and electronic evolution of molecular systems during their (bio-)chemical activity in real-time. To this end, we are pursuing a new approach: we measure ultrafast changes in molecular chirality with broadband circularly polarized laser pulses to track the encoded structural dynamics with sub-picosecond time resolution.
A brief description of the position is given below. Further details and all application requirements can be found under: https://oppermann.chemie.unibas.ch/en/group/open-positions/
Postdoc position: Advanced photonics for ultrafast chiral spectroscopy
We are looking for a highly motivated and pro-active postdoctoral researcher with a background in ultrafast spectroscopy. Based on novel photonic technology, the candidate will support the implementation of new ultrafast spectroscopy set ups and contribute to our ongoing research on chiral photochemistry, which currently includes the investigation of chiral luminescent materials, chiral photoswitches and chiral metal nanoclusters. The research is fully funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and a Royal Society International Exchange Grant.
The position is available immediately, but the starting date is flexible. The initial duration of the position is 3 years. The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found, so we encourage interested candidates to apply as soon as possible.
