We are looking for a PhD STUDENT and a POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER to work with optical frequency comb spectroscopy at the Department of Physics, Umeå University, Sweden (http://www.physics.umu.se/english/?languageId=1).

The student/researcher will work on the development and application of the technique for broadband ultrasensitive detection of molecular species in the gas phase. The research will encompass development of spectroscopic detection systems based on a state-of-the-art optical frequency comb for molecules of importance in applications such as breath analysis, atmospheric and climate studies, industrial process control, and explosives detection.

The PhD student position is for 5 years (80% research, 20% teaching assistance) starting in March 2012 or later. The successful candidate should hold a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in experimental physics or electrical engineering. Skills and experience in experimental laboratory research, including optics, electronics, measurement techniques and/or laser spectroscopy will be seen as an advantage.
The postdoctoral appointment is for 2 years starting in April 2012 or later. The successful candidate should hold a PhD degree in experimental physics (or equivalent) and have experience in fields of laser spectroscopy, optics, electronics, vacuum systems, and/or gas analysis. A strong interest in instrumental development will be seen as an advantage.
