Prof Fernando Martin
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) offers PhD salaried positions linked to the ERC Advanced Grant project X-CHEM (XUV/X-ray lasers for ultrafast electronic control in molecules), starting no later than September, 2013.
The successful applicant shall develop a research project on “Theoretical Modelling of Laser-Induced Ultrafast Phenomena”, oriented to obtain a PhD diploma, focused on the development of novel computational tools for the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for molecules under the action of ultra-short pulses from new light sources.
Collaborations with the most vibrant research groups in Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics in Europe through exchange programs and attendance to conferences are foreseen.
Access to vast technological resources is guaranteed, including the group’s new supercomputer, with more than 1K cores, and access to the European HP Computing Network.
