Prof. David H. Parker’s research group at Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands and PHOTEK Ltd, a UK company specializing in state-of-the-art photon and charged particle detectors, cameras and electronics, offer a programme of training in the field of technological developments for molecular dynamics research. The primary aim is to train three early stage researchers while conducting an internationally competitive research project.

The PUFF EID project will provide training across a wide range of disciplines including chemistry, physics, material sciences, and electronics. Training will be provided through an integrated partnership between Radboud University and PHOTEK, ensuring interdisciplinary and intersectoral experience. The molecular beam devices that we aim to develop will be offered to the molecular dynamics community, which is studying a wide range of research topics as diverse as analytical chemistry and attosecond dynamics. You will be enrolled in Radboud University’s doctoral programme and will defend your PhD at the end of the project. You will spend half of your time at Radboud University in the Netherlands and half of you time at PHOTEK Ltd in the UK. The PhD research in the Netherlands will be conducted in English.
Requirements
- at the time of recruitment you must be in the first four years of your research careers and have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree;
- a background in chemical physics / physical chemistry;
- experience with molecular spectroscopy and preferably also with laser and molecular beam techniques;

Recruitment is open to all nationalities, but because of mobility rules defined by the EU, at the time of recruitment, candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the three years immediately prior to the reference date (compulsory national service and/or short stays such as holidays are not taken into account).
