PhD Scholarships in Ultrafast 2D-IR Spectroscopy at the Universität Frankfurt (Germany)
In our group you will develop and apply femtosecond 2D-IR techniques to investigate the structure and dynamics of short-lived molecular species that are of prime importance for molecular recognition and advanced chemical catalysis. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with organic chemists with the goal to understand and develop novel types of catalysts that combine concepts of molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry with enzyme-like catalytic activity.
Femtosecond two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) employs a sequence of ultrashort infrared laser pulses to measure couplings and correlations between vibrations of different parts of a molecule. Short-lived molecular species, which are out of reach for conventional techniques such as NMR, can be detected by 2D-IR and their structure and dynamics can be analyzed.
The programme starts in 01.06.2012 for a duration of 4 years. The working Language is English. The language of the Doctoral Thesis is English too.
Requirements for Applicant
We are looking for a talented researcher with an active attitude, an accurate way of working, and excellent communicative and collaborative skills. As our new group member you should have (or be about to obtain) a de-gree in Chemistry, Physics or a closely related subject, be enthusiastic about experimental research, and ideally have a background in one or more of the following fields: physical chemistry, organic chemistry, lasers, non-linear optics, infrared spectroscopy, femtosecond spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry.
