PhD position in -resolution rotational spectroscopy

The Department of Physical Chemistry and Institute CINQUIMA of the University of Valladolid (UVa) has an open 4-year PhD position in high-resolution rotational spectroscopy, under the supervision of Alberto Lesarri and Cristóbal Pérez.

The PhD student will work within the project “Cryogenic Techniques for Ultra-Cold Spectroscopy:
Applications to Three-Wave Mixing Chiral Detection, Non-Covalent Interactions, and Structural and Isotopic Discrimination”, funded by the Spanish Research Agency (AEI). The project will focus on experimental developments and molecular studies on rotational spectroscopy, supported by quantum mechanical calculations. The contract includes full social benefits and health insurance for a maximum period of 4 years. A maximum of 60 hours of (optional) teaching may be assigned yearly.

The candidate must hold a Master degree in Physics, Chemistry or related fields. The UVa adheres to the European Human Resource Strategy for Researchers (HRS4R).

Required background

Previous research experience on physical chemistry, molecular physics, high-resolution spectroscopy and/or quantum chemistry will be primarily examined. Further experience with computer programming and instrumentation will be additionally considered.

Application

For a preliminary selection please send your CV, presentation letter and references to the Prof. Alberto Lesarri and Cristóbal Pérez (alberto.lesarri,cristobal.perez). The final selection process will be handled electronically by UVa and will be announced at a later stage.
