ABOUT THE ROLE

The research involves conducting femtosecond time resolved Impulsive Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (ISRS) of photosynthesis and small model systems. The ultrafast spectroscopy laboratory offers extensive capabilities for femtosecond laser spectroscopy including a non-collinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA). ISRS capabilities will be extended to fifth order with the addition of a second short pulse light source.

WHAT YOU WOULD BE DOING

You will be working on developing instrumentation and using NOPA sources for ultrafast time resolved spectroscopy measurements of photosynthetic light harvesting complexes. The goal is to develop a full-time domain description of exciton dynamics using ISRS techniques, and to collaborate with a theory group on the topic of structure-based simulation of quantum dynamics.
