Particularly interesting antennas are J-aggregates – organized ensembles of hundreds of molecules with coherently coupled excited states. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMS&lt;/span&gt; makes visible phenomena like fluorescence blinking and fluctuations of other optical property that are not observable in bulk materials due to ensemble-averaging. These phenomena gives us “inside” information on energy redistribution between chromophores and on excited state quenching by generating of “dark” states. With new techniques developed in our group it will be possible to measure geometrical parameters (size, shape etc) of individual nano-antennas and correlate them with energy transport properties.&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Qualifications:&lt;br /&gt;&#10;Expertise/qualification required from the candidate: master degree in chemistry or physics; strong basic education in general physics, physical chemistry, optics, laser physics, mathematics and quantum mechanics; experience in programming; experience in operation with general electronic equipment (generators, oscilloscopes etc).&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Additional expertise: Experience/education in optical/fluorescence microscopy; courses on solid-state physics; computational mathematics and programming; working experince in a laser lab.Regulations concerning appointment as a full PhD student can be found in HF 5 Chap 1-7§§ and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SFS&lt;/span&gt; 1998:80.

Providing deep insight within core disciplines, the basic sciences are also a source of nourishment to the applied sciences and, ultimately, to society at large.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;What we’re building on&lt;br /&gt;&#10;Pure physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and computer science provide a large part of our platform. We are an eclectic group of researchers dedicated to answering the calls of our chosen sciences. Some are leading experts in such specialised fields that our closest colleagues are on the other side of the planet. This is the nature of studying the universe.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Our fundamental physics research group addresses questions within elementary particle physics and mathematical physics. And in particular, within string theory and supersymmetric field theories, where both formal issues and future applications in other bordering fields are investigated. Engaged in large experimental facilities such as &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CERN&lt;/span&gt; in Geneva and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;GSI&lt;/span&gt;/FAIR in Darmstadt, the group also explores subatomic physics, nuclear astrophysics, and many-body systems.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;The driving force behind our geoscience research is to understand the Earth system – which in turn&lt;br /&gt;&#10;provides a basic knowledge for a sustainable future. Present research includes the atmospheric water cycle, volcano and industrial emissions, ozone depletion, forest biomass, sea ice, and the crust, rotation and interior of the Earth.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;The research we perform in Mathematics comprises complex analytic geometry, algebraic geometry, harmonic analysis, geometric measure theory, analytic number theory, and discrete mathematics – or probability theory. We also have close collaborations with theoretical computer science in the areas of combinatorics, discrete mathematics, probability and logic.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;The Radio Astronomy and Astrophysics group works closely with the Swedish National Facility for Radio Astronomy at Onsala Space Observatory. Areas of research include the evolution of galaxies with emphasis on starbursts and active galactic nuclei, cosmology, formation of stars and planets, late stages of stellar evolution, and astrochemistry.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;The Theoretical Chemistry group focuses on fundamental perspectives on principle chemical reactions such as catalysis, high-temperature corrosion, and bio-nano-photo-voltaics. Areas of research also include contributions to fundamental quantum chemistry and an &amp;#8220;octet rule&amp;#8221; is developed for predicting new superconducting materials.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Our research in Theoretical Computer Science is within the areas of algorithms, logic, formalization of mathematics, and programming language theory. Our research is performed in close contact with neighbouring sciences, such as mathematics, philosophy, biology, and linguistics.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Where would you take it next?&lt;br /&gt;&#10;If you are drawn to understanding the laws of the universe, if you think that your research might help us to fortify our foundations within one or more of the fundamental sciences, then please don’t hesitate in sending us your Assistant Professor or PhD application. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Process Overview&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Last day to submit applications is February 15, 2010.
