About this role
About the job
The successful candidte will be an integral part of a research project/team assisting in the planning and delivery of the research activity with the EPSRC Grant, Laser-Induced Chiral Photolysis. Specifically, the candidate will use experiments and simulations to create synthetic chiral light and optimise its ability to selectively ionize and fragment chiral molecules of a particular handedness. This will involve designing, developing and running experiments in Belfast and with collaborators in Bordeaux, France.
