Postdoctoral Research Position in Electron–Molecule and Electron–Cluster Processes for Astrochemistry
The Department of Experimental Physics offers a postdoctoral position related to the project on electron–molecule and electron–cluster ionization reactions.
The main objective of this postdoctoral project is the study of electron–molecule and electron-cluster ionization reactions, using the crossed-beam method combined with mass spectrometry(CEMBIA – a crossed-beam electron–molecule instrument and with CLUSTER-ILN – an electron–cluster beam system). Additionally, electron-induced excitation processes and ion–molecule reactions may be studied as complementary experiments conducted within the same research group. All these results can provide valuable insights into the kinetics of various processes — including evaluations of relative cross seccions, threshold energies, and the efficiency of individual reaction channels, of astrophysically relevant molecular targets.
The postdoctoral position will begin on October 1st, 2026, with a duration of one year and the possibility of extension for up to three years. We welcome candidates with skills and experience in operating experimental setups, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and presenting at international conferences. Applicants are requested to send the following documents topeter.papp@uniba.sk:
A short motivation letter (max. 1 page) describing your previous laboratory research experience, including the topic of your PhD thesis.
A CV including a list of publications (peer-reviewed journal articles and conference abstracts/contributions).
Based on the submitted applications, selected candidates will be invited for an online interview.
