Post-Doctoral Research Associate in gas liquid interfacial reaction dynamics
School of Engineering and Physical Sciences - Institute of Chemical Sciences
Grade 7, Salary Scale £29,541 - £36,298
Applications are invited for a research associate position in an exciting chemical physics/physical chemistry project funded by the EPSRC, in the group of Dr Greaves at Heriot-Watt University. The position is available from the 1st of January 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter until the 30th of September 2016.
The main purpose of the project is scientific exploration of the dynamics of the reactions between gas phase molecules (or radicals) and liquid surfaces, using state-of-the-art crossed molecular beams and velocity map imaging methods. The appointee will design, develop and implement a liquid microjet and/or a microfluidic device in vacuum within a crossed molecular beam experiment. This will allow the appointee to use the micro-liquid device along with pulsed laser systems, high vacuum apparatus, time-of-flight spectrometers and imaging methods to provide world leading capabilities for the investigation of gas liquid surface reactions.
Applicants should have (or be about to receive) a PhD in a relevant area of Chemical Physics / Physical Chemistry, or a related discipline with expertise in microfluidics or liquid microjets.
Experience with lasers and/or vacuum technology is essential.
Starting date: 1st Jan. 2014 or as soon as possible thereafter.
Informal enquiries should be made to the principal investigator: Dr Stuart Greaves on Tel +44 (0)131 451 8197 or at s.j.greaves@hw.ac.uk
