Research Fellow in Belfast

The successful candidte will be an integral part of a research project/team assisting in the planning and delivery of the research activity with the EPSRC Grant, Laser-Induced Chiral Photolysis. Specifically, the candidate will use experiments and simulations to create synthetic chiral light and optimise its ability to selectively ionize and fragment chiral molecules of a particular handedness. This will involve designing, developing and running experiments in Belfast and with collaborators in Bordeaux, France.

The successful candidate must have, and your application should clearly demonstrate that you meet the following essential criteria:

• Have or be about to obtain a relevant PhD.
• Degree in Physics, Theoretical Physics or related field.
• Significant experience of multiphoton interactions with molecules, or related experiments
• Extensive experience setting up laser optics for experiments.
• Significant experience analysing data using Matlab, Python or Labview.

To be successful at shortlisting stage, please ensure you clearly evidence in your application how you meet the essential and, where applicable, desirable criteria listed in the Candidate Information.
