About this position

This doctoral position is based at Uppsala University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, in the Ångström laboratory, within the research program for Chemical and Bio-Molecular Physics. The program works on the fundamental properties and ultrafast processes of matter at atomic length and time scales, and develops novel X-ray methods and instrumentation for studying atoms, molecules, and chemical and biomolecular systems.

The PhD student will join the division of X-ray Photon Science and work in the HELIOS laser laboratory. The project focuses on femtosecond laser spectroscopy of liquid-phase chemical reactions, with an emphasis on charge dynamics relevant to light-harvesting and bond activation. The student will help develop new femtosecond THz and optical spectroscopy infrastructure and will design, run, and analyze experiments to understand how molecular charge distributions influence chemical reactivity in catalysis.

The role also includes scientific writing, presenting results at internal and international meetings, and participating in collaborations with experimental and theoretical research groups. The wider department offers a broad physics environment with many doctoral students, links to nationally and internationally leading projects, and opportunities for industry partnership and outreach.

What's required

To meet the entry requirements for doctoral studies, applicants must hold a Master’s (second-cycle) degree in physics, chemistry, or a related subject, or have completed at least 240 credits in higher education with at least 60 credits at Master’s level including an independent project worth at least 15 credits, or have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in another way. Very good oral and written English proficiency is required. Very good knowledge of molecular physics and spectroscopy is considered an asset, as is previous hands-on experience with laser spectroscopy and instrumentation; experience with quantum chemical simulations is an advantage but not required.
