Under a RTN EC project named “ Laboratory Studies
of Reactive Intermediates Relevant to Atmospheric Chemistry and Combustion”,
a postdoctoral position is currently available at the New University of Lisbon
for research on decomposition mechanisms of azides, azoalkanes and nitrites
using UVPES.
Surface adsorption characterisation of azoalkanes
and nitrites and selected fluorinated compounds on Ag (111) and Pt/Rh surfaces
will also be studied using XPS and SIMS. Reactons of CO and O2, and
NOx with N2 will be investigated on Ni.La and Pt/Rh
surfaces. Adsorption-desorption reactions will be studied as a function of
temperature down to 77K. Electron and ion stimulated processes will be studied
by XPS and SIMS.
The successful applicant will work with Prof. Maria
Lourdes Costa and with Prof. Augusto Moutinho.
This fellowship will involve visits to some of other
laboratories of this Network, such as Southampton, Amsterdam, Crete and
Garching.
The position is available for an initial period of
one year, renewable to further two years.
