About this position

This PhD project focuses on ultrafast electronic rearrangement and relaxation in biomolecules after photoabsorption. The student will investigate how several competing pathways, including very fast femtosecond charge-transfer and local electronic relaxation processes, unfold in complex molecular systems.

The research uses a novel strategy based on Auger electrons emitted from a metallic site embedded in a porphyrin derivative. This local probe is used to follow the photoinduced electronic reorganization and to extract information on the matrix elements associated with electronic transitions and relaxation. The approach builds on earlier work showing that Auger spectroscopy can identify both the electronic state reached after photon absorption and the final state after relaxation in simpler systems.

Experiments will be carried out using multiple advanced light sources, including synchrotrons, high-harmonic generation sources, and free-electron lasers. The project is embedded in national and international collaborations, giving the doctoral researcher access to a broad experimental environment and complementary expertise.

The PhD will be hosted at the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d’Orsay (ISMO, UMR 8214), a fundamental research unit in physics and physical chemistry under the joint supervision of CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay. The student will join the SYSIPHE team, Structure et Dynamique des Systèmes Complexes Isolés Photoexcités, a group of around twenty researchers and faculty members with backgrounds in physics and chemistry, whose research is centered on spectroscopy experiments.
