Postdoctoral position in experimental ultrafast spectroscopy at Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, California, USA
We have an open experimental postdoctoral position with Dr. Krupa Ramasesha at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, California, USA. The scientific focus of this appointment is to understand how coupled electronic and structural dynamics shape early photochemical events, including bond dissociation, conformational evolution, and charge transfer, in complex molecular systems. The postdoctoral appointee will apply advanced time-resolved methods to probe electronic excited-state dynamics, with an emphasis on ultrafast core-level spectroscopy enabled by a table-top high-harmonic generation source of femtosecond extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray pulses. The position also offers opportunities to help develop and participate in user-facility campaigns using ultrafast electron diffraction and free-electron lasers. Working closely with theorists and experimentalists, the successful candidate will interpret time-resolved measurements by connecting experimental observables to coupled electronic and nuclear dynamics. The postdoctoral appointee is expected to publish research in peer-reviewed scientific journals, present at national and international conferences, and contribute to a collaborative research environment.
The position requires significant experience with femtosecond amplified laser systems, nonlinear optics, and instrumentation. Candidates with a strong background in ultrafast spectroscopy and excited-state dynamics and experience with ultrafast core-level spectroscopy are desired.
The anticipated annual salary for this position is $110,000 plus benefits.
