POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER (E13 TV-L)
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum – Fakultät für Chemie und Biochemie, Chair of Physical Chemistry, invites applications for a post-doc position for 1 year in the research field of the Cluster of Excellence “Ruhr Explores Solvation” (RESOLV).
RESOLV is funded within the German Excellence Initiative and aims at establishing “Solvation Science” as an overarching research topic at RUB. The mission of RESOLV is to launch Solvation Science as a new interdisciplinary field to understand the influence of solvation on reactions, the function of biomolecules, and processes at liquid-solid interfaces. RESOLV aims to create an interdisciplinary framework for understanding solvent processes that is universal and adds a predictive capability.
The project entitled aims at combining complementary approaches, namely, femtosecond time-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy (2PPE) and high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) in order to investigate solvated electron states at crystalline ice structures prepared on surfaces and the dissociation of adsorbed halogenated molecules with different electron affinity. This position will be hosted at the Chair of Physical Chemistry I (Prof. Karina Morgenstern) and at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Prof. Uwe Bovensiepen). The applicant is expected to have experience with ultrahigh vacuum equipment. Interest in fundamental electrochemistry, scanning tunneling microscopy and/or ultrafast spectroscopy is essential. The applicant will work in a small team on a cutting edge project addressing the fundamentals of electron solvation.
The areas Ruhr and Lower Rhine are characterized by a high density of universities and research institutions. Relevant additional information can be found at www.rub.de/solvation and www.uni-due.de/agbovensiepen.
The proposed starting date for the position is as soon as possible. Applications should include a detailed curriculum vitae (with information about awards and presentations), and a list of all publications. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is committed to employ more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The RUB wishes to increase the share of women in areas, where they are underrepresented and strongly encourages them to apply.
Complete applications should be sent exclusively in electronic form as one pdf document no later than 17.1.2016 to E-Mail: sekretariat@pc.rub.de |
