A postdoctoral position is available at the group of Prof. Luis Bañares at the Faculty of Chemistry (Universidad Complutense de Madrid). The position (1 year) will be fully funded under the project FULMATEN-CM, coordinated by IMDEA Nanociencia (Ref: Y2018/NMT-5028, funded by the Programmes of R&D Activities of Comunidad de Madrid). The Project aims at using attosecond and few-femtosecond laser pulses for real time imaging of charge transfer processes occurring in organic molecules and eventually control them. Salary depending on experience or commensurate for a postdoctoral fellow in Spain.

The candidates must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, or a closely related subject, as well as show a solid demonstrable experience in ultrafast lasers, laser spectroscopy, harmonic generation, photoelectron spectroscopy, and pump-probe experiments. Transnational mobility periods, demonstrated independence and commitment to team work, and any additional skills in computational modelling and/or experimental work on ultrafast science will be positively valued.

The successful candidate will carry out the following tasks: i) Participation in the build-up of a high harmonic generation line specially designed to visualize charge transfer processes in pump-probe experiments with sub-femtosecond or few femtosecond time resolution, and ii) Subsequent application of this line.

Applications, including a letter of motivation and future research interests, a CV and list of publications, contact information for two references, copy of PhD certificate, and any additional information that can support the application should be directed by email to fulmaten-cm@imdea.org before March 16^th, 2020, with the reference “FULMATEN-UCM6” in the issue.
