London, United Kingdom UCL Eastman Dental Institute Full time

About the role

Applications are invited for a Doctoral Candidate to work in the group of Professor Helen Fielding in the Department of Chemistry at University College London. This position is part of a HORIZON-MSCA Doctoral Training Network “Liquid phase Ultrafast photoeMIssion spEctroscopy of biomimetic photoREactions” (LUMIERE), which aims to train the next generation of talented European physical science researchers in a cutting-edge multidisciplinary environment to advance our molecular-level understanding of biomimetic switches. The results of the research undertaken within the network will impact the development of bio-imaging tools, the engineering of novel light-driven molecular devices, and the design of smart drugs triggered by light. This position will involve using gas-phase and liquid-microjet photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and femtosecond time-resolved PES (TRPES) to probe how an environment impacts the electronic structure and ultrafast dynamics of deprotonated biomimetic switches.

The position is funded for 36 months, and the work is expected to lead to the award of a PhD. The position will start 1 February or 1 May . The salary ranges from £35, - £46, per annum, depending on circumstances.

About you

The successful candidate will have a Masters degree in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Physics, Natural Sciences or a similar subject at the time of starting the post. They will have a passion for high quality interdisciplinary research in the physical sciences and an enthusiasm and interest in photochemistry and laser spectroscopy. Experience in photochemistry or laser spectroscopy is desirable but not essential as full training will be provided.

During the three years, the researcher will also undertake research/training placements at partners within the LUMIERE network: Max-Born Institute, Berlin, Germany (time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with XUV light); Fritz Haber Institute, Berlin, Germany (XUV photoemission spectroscopy); Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa, Italy (electronic structure calculations); Advanced Microfluidic Systems GmbH, Göttingen, Germany (liquid microjets); University of Siena, Italy (synthesis of biomimentic switches). There will be a high degree of interaction with other partners within the Doctoral Training Network. Excellent team-working and communication skills, and a keen interest in interdisciplinary research at the photochemistry/spectroscopy/ultrafast lasers/computational chemistry interface will be required.
To be eligible for the post you must not have resided or carried out your main activity (work, studies) in the UK for more than 12 months prior to the recruitment date.
