A POSTGRADUATE OR POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY AND SPECTROSCOPY
This project centres on the investigation of molecules of importance in gas-phase atmospheric chemistry using conventional photoelectron spectroscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. It will be of interest to suitably qualified postgraduates or postdoctoral fellows in chemistry or physics.
The aim is to study reactions of atmospheric importance with photoelectron spectroscopy and to use synchrotron radiation to obtain information on highly excited states of reactive intermediates and their ionisation mechanisms, and their low lying ionic states.
Further information can be obtained from the following references:-
