Date of hire: | 01.04.2025 |
vacancy number: | 38097 |
Part-time position with half the working hours of a full-time employee. The position is initially limited to 3 years with the possibility of an extension of another 2 years (qualification position according to § 72 HessHG in conjunction with § 2 para. 1 clause 1 WissZeitVG). The opportunity for a doctorate is given.
In this field we addresses the following fundamental questions by carrying out experiments using lasers and synchrotron radiation:
The aim of this project is to investigate in detail the photoionization of water and biomolecules dissolved in water. The interaction of ionizing radiation with matter triggers complex relaxation dynamics, in particular various intra- and inter-molecular processes such as molecular fragmentation, proton transfer and energy transfer from one molecule to another. A focus of this project is on multiple ionization, in which one photon triggers the emission of two or more electrons. Many of these processes are not yet well understood, although they play an important role in living tissue when exposed to UV and ionizing radiation. These processes are investigated using synchrotron radiation and electron imaging spectroscopy on biologically relevant molecular clusters, nanoparticles and liquid jets.
