Post-doc position for 2.5 years at the University of Iceland

The research project involves simulations and experimental studies of the mechanism and rate of dissociation of excited molecules, in particular after electron attachment. This work relates to studies of radiation damage as well as the possibility of using electron induced processes in controlled chemical reactions on surfaces. The calculations will make use of self-interaction corrected density functional theory as well as wave function based calculations of the electronic structure, coupled to dynamical and statistical methods for describing the dissociation processes. The experiments include (high vacuum) crossed electron molecular beam studies of branching ratios and absolute cross sections of electron induced dissociation processes.

The position is open for applicants with Ph.D. (or equivalent) in Chemistry or Physics, or related fields. Applications including CV and reference(s) for recommendations should be sent to odduring(a)hi.is or hj(a)hi.is before May 15. 2013.
