This doctoral student position involves developing instrumentation and methods for femtosecond soft x-ray spectroscopy of liquids and solutions to study chemical dynamics under realistic conditions. The student will use resonant spectroscopy at carbon, oxygen, and other element K-edges and work at synchrotrons like MAX-lab in Lund, Sweden. The project focuses on instrument development and testing prototypical systems while gaining experience in technical work, data analysis, and quantum chemistry calculations.

Doctoral student Femtosecond Soft X-ray
in synchrotron based Spectroscopy of Matter
spectroscopy under Realistic Conditions of liquids and solutions
The PhD project forms part of a larger project dealing with the spectro- scopic investigation of chemical dynamics in liquids and solutions under the title: “Femtosecond Soft X-ray Spectroscopy of Matter under Realis- tic Conditions”. The aim is to drive the development of soft X-ray scatter- ing of electron and configuration dynamics of biological relevant systems towards a routinely applicable method. The technology employed is resonant spectroscopy at the K-edges of Carbon, Oxygen and other chemical relevant elements. This method is available only at accelerator based light-sources as synchrotrons and the new free-electron lasers. The PhD candidate will be enrolled at Uppsala University, and located at MAX-lab in Lund (Sweden). A part of the experimental work will most likely be performed at other places, e.g. at BESSY in Berlin, Germany, or SLS/PSI in Switzerland.
Our main focus lies on instrument and method development. The PhD project will therefore include instrument development through (pilot) research on prototypical systems.
