Toruń, Poland

Description (field, expectations, comments):

The competition is open to persons who meet the conditions set out in Article 113 of the Act of 20 July 2018 - Law on higher education and science (Journal of Laws of 2018, item 1668) and the following qualification criteria:

• Required: a doctorate in physics, chemistry or related field;
• Required: significant publication record in molecular spectroscopy or experimental techniques using optical cavities;
• Required: experience in laser-based spectroscopy;
• Required: skills and experience in programming and numerical methods;
• Preferred: experience in cavity-enhanced spectroscopy and spectral line-shape analysis, knowledge on theory of molecular collisions;
• Required: good English (both spoken and written);
• Teamwork ability and high motivation for research work.

Project title: "Precise and accurate spectroscopy of weak molecular transitions supported by ab initio calculations"

The main task of the employee will be development of the cavity-enhanced spectrometer. The employee will be involved in measurements of carbon monoxide spectra using very sensitive spectroscopic techniques: cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS), cavity mode-width spectroscopy (CMWS), and cavity mode-dispersion spectroscopy (CMDS). The employee will also analyse acquired data with the use of advanced spectral line profiles and collaborate with our partner from University College London.
