The Laboratory of Ultrafast Spectroscopy at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Toledo, Spain) is seeking for an outstanding postdoc candidate for a research project based on the use of ultrafast optical and spectroscopic techniques to interrogate mater at the atomic scale. For this purpose, our labs have femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion, transient-absorption and time-resolved single-molecule fluorescence microscopy techniques.
In this project we wish to study at the femtosecond time scale and at single molecule level, the dynamics of confined nanostructures formed by organic molecules and several nanohosts. The project is linked to our on-going activities in the field of femtochemistyr and femtobiology + single molecule microscopy. We are looking for applicants with a solid background in ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy.
The position is available for 2 years.

The Photophysics and Photochemistry of Supra- and Macromolecules laboratory (PPSM) at Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan (ENS Cachan), located in the Paris area, is offering a one-year postdoctoral position to work on a new concept combining the photostructuration of functionalized organic or silica nanoparticles and non-destructive nonlinear read-out for 3D-optical data storage. The studies will focus on the elaboration and optical studies of novel hybrid materials in tight collaborations with physics laboratories at ENS Cachan and CEA Saclay.
The PPSM lab is provided with numerous facilities for organic synthesis, material elaboration, characterizations (spin-coating, evaporation, metal sputtering, profilometer, AFM, MEB), spectroscopic equipments (steady-state UV-Vis, IR and time-resolved nano- and pico-second studies), as well as optical studies (holography, second-order NLO setups, confocal microscopes).
Candidates must possess a PhD in chemistry and a solid background in organic synthesis as well as in spectroscopy or in material sciences. They must supply a covering letter describing their expertise and interest for the position, a detailed curriculum vitae and recommendation letters or list of references to the address mentionned.

ASC - Master of Science: Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry
Duration: 2 years
Course description:
The Advanced Spectroscopy in Chemistry Masters course is a two year (120 ECTS) programme within 7 european universities, providing students with state of the art spectroscopic techniques in a broad range of modern chemistry applications. The ASC Master of Science diploma is delivered after completion of 90 ECTS (3 semesters) of courses and 30 ECTS of a Master thesis.
Courses are taught in English at the seven partner universities. The network student population will be in the 60-70 brackets, with a student to teacher ratio of 2.0 or better. The ASC programme recruits students with a Eurobachelor in Chemistry, or holders of equivalent degrees, and a B2 prerequisite English level.
The selected students will study in at least 2 countries (minimum mandatory mobility: one semester):
- A 1st semester at Lille (FR) or Leipzig (DE), dedicated to provide all candidates with a common platform of core courses in advanced spectroscopic methods, including magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, optical spectroscopy and diffraction techniques.
- A second semester at Lille (FR) or Leipzig (DE), where in addition to courses in spectroscopy, the ASC curriculum prepares students for specialisation courses and research projects to be carried out at a later date, in which spectroscopy will be the backbone.
- A 3rd semester mobility in any of the consortium institutions for specialization courses, where expansion is provided with applications in the following specialties :
- Univ. of Bergen (NO): Spectroscopy of natural products.
- Univ. of Bologna (IT): Quantum Chemistry, Catalysis.
- Univ. of Helsinki (FI): Spectroscopy of Environmental and Green Chemistry.
- Univ. of Krakow (PL): Optical Spectroscopy, Computational and Forensic Chemistry
- Univ. Leipzig (DE): Bioorganic NMR, Protein Crystallography.
- Univ. of Lille (FR): Solid State Spectroscopy - NMR, X ray diffraction.
- Univ. of Madrid (ES): Chemical sensors, ultrafast Lasers and femtochemistry.
- A 4th semester mobility in any of the consortium institutions upon student choice of a research topic towards the Master thesis, which will be strongly encouraged to be based on a collaborative project between two of the partner institutions.
A Summer school will be organised each year in the ASC Master programme, at the end of the first year, bringing ASC students in one location as a group. The ASC Master aims to prepare students to become experts and develop international skills
towards doctoral programs and/or professional activities in chemical analysis, characterization of the structures of materials, and measurements of fast phenomena.

Post.doc. position within the area “Optical spectroscopy of semiconductor nanowires” at Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway – Jnr. IME-046/2007.
A postdoctoral fellowship, duration of two years with possible extension up to three years, funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s “NANOMAT” program is offered within the area of “Optical spectroscopy of semiconductor nanowires” at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (http://www.iet.ntnu.no/en) in the Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
The Post.doc will be part of a new research team consisting of three Ph.D. students and two Post.docs. with the long term goal to fabricate single nanowire lasers. The sought Post.doc. for this part of the project will be involved in the optical characterization of GaAsSb based hetero-structured nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Optical properties of individual nanowires will be studied by micro-photoluminescence, time-resolved luminescence, as well as by nano-optical techniques using low-temperature scanning confocal optical microscopy (SCOM) and scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). Optical pumping experiment will
also be performed to investigate lasing properties of single nanowires. Depending on the candidates interest part of the project can also be devoted to processing and optical characterization of nanowire lasers.

Delft University of Technology is a multifaceted institution offering education and conducting research within the technical sciences at an internationally recognised level. Education, research and designs are strongly oriented towards social applicability. TU Delft develops technologies for future generations, focusing on sustainability, safety and economic vitality. At TU Delft, you will work in an environment in which technical sciences and society converge. TU Delft comprises eight faculties, the Assistant Staff Office, unique laboratories, research institutes and schools.
Faculty of Applied Sciences
This is a large, research-oriented faculty providing excellent, challenging education and conducting pioneering, cutting-edge fundamental research of great societal relevance in the natural sciences.
It provides a world-class training ground for future leaders in scientific professional practice and research. With more than 60 different nationalities studying and working together, its environment is enriched and culturally diverse. The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience is one of the seven departments of the Faculty.
Section Photronic Devices of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience
The section Photronic Devices concentrates on the physics of devices operating on the basis of control of photonic and electronic waves at the nanoscale. In particular, use is made of photonic bandgap materials (photonic crystals) and inorganic semiconductors for new optical and electrical device operation. Phenomena in devices made from these systems exhibit both interesting similarities and differences, while in either case doping is essential for device functionality. For more information about the Photronic Devices section or the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience please visit www.ns.tudelft.nl/pd.
The Section Photronic Devices has a PhD vacancy in Raman Spectroscopy.
