SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
Research Associate - PULSE Research
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Menlo Park, California, United States, 94029
Overview
The Wolf Research Group at the Stanford PULSE Institute seeks candidates for a Research Associate position. The candidate will join the Wolf Research Group within the Stanford PULSE Institute at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory as a Research Associate. Our research focuses on investigations of ultrafast photochemical dynamics in isolated molecules using state-of-the-art experimental methods, with the goal of understanding coupled electron-nuclear dynamics during photochemical processes in the excited states of organic molecules. This requires experiments with femtosecond time resolution and atomic spatial resolution. We are using the facilities of SLAC, including LCLS and related instruments, within a highly collaborative research environment.
Note:
This is a 12-month fixed-term position with the possibility of extension. Research Associates are engaged with the design, support, operation and/or scientific development of the major programs of the laboratory, under the guidance of their supervisor. They are expected to work with a significant degree of independence on one or more specific tasks in support of the research program, frequently interacting with the laboratory’s scientific community.
Responsibilities
Investigate gas phase ultrafast molecular dynamics by time-resolved soft X-ray spectroscopy and diffraction experiments, exploiting the opportunities of LCLS-II.
Contribute to the design, support, operation, and scientific development of major programs within the laboratory under supervision.
Collaborate in a cross-disciplinary, collaborative environment within the PULSE Institute and affiliated departments.
Qualifications
PhD in physics, chemistry or related fields.
Demonstrated expertise in ultrafast experiments in the gas phase.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
Commitment to working in a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment.
