Scholarship Information : PhD position in attosecond molecular science, Switzerland

This position is part of the SNSF-funded project Attosecond imaging of chemical dynamics. You will develop new experimental methods to measure the dynamics of molecules on the shortest currently accessible time scales (1 attosecond=10-18s) using state-of-the-art ultrafast laser systems. The projects include the measurement of the evolving electronic structure of a molecule undergoing a chemical reaction, the observation of electron circulation in molecular systems and the imaging of attosecond electronic wave packets in molecules.

We are seekinga highly motivated candidate with a MSc or equivalent degree in chemistry or physics. Experience with lasers and vacuum systems is an advantage. For additional information please contact: Prof. Dr. Hans Jakob Wörner: Phone number: +41 44 6334412, the position is available immediately.

Please apply on-line at www.jobs.ethz.ch and submit a letter of motivation, a curriculum vitae, names and addresses of two referees and a grade record of their Master’s examination.with the keyword CONI3720 to ETH Zurich, Prof. Dr. Hans Jakob Wörner,Wolfgang-Pauli-Str. 10, CH-8093 Zurich.
