Researcher in chemical physics - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Subject description
Spectroscopy of Photocatalytic Systems 

Work duties

• Studying (ultrafast) dynamics of energy and electron transfer processes in photocatalytic systems.
• Analyzing and interpreting time-resolved spectroscopy measurements, developing photophysical models to describe reaction dynamics, and applying advanced data analysis tools such as multivariate curve resolution.
• Contributing to joint projects with internal and external collaborators, working towards completion of objectives.
• Dissemination of research results in project meetings, peer-reviewed journals, and at international conferences. 

Qualification requirements 
Applicants must have:

• A PhD or equivalent research qualification within the subject of the position.
• Very good oral and written proficiency in English.
• Experience previously obtained during postdoctoral research in the field of time-resolved optical spectroscopy of photocatalytic systems is inevitable.
• Knowledge of the photophysics and photochemistry of organic and hybrid materials is a given.
• The research requires a high level of experimental skills and involves the operation of sophisticated ultrafast laser systems such as femtosecond amplifiers/oscillators, LC TOPAS, OPOs, and (home-built) NOPAs.
• The ability to design and execute spectroscopic experiments and to interpret spectroscopic data are required.
• Expertise with LabView, MatLab, and Origin data analysis software is an advantage. 

Assessment criteria and other qualifications
Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen ongoing research within the department, and how they stand to contribute to its future development.
