Description

Within the framework of the ERC Synergy project CONCERT, the candidate will develop an ultrafast optical spectroscopy system based on transient absorption, featuring broad spectral tunability (from the infrared to the ultraviolet) and a high signal-to-noise ratio. This apparatus will be used to study photoinduced processes in biomolecules mediated by conical intersections. The research activity will also include the use of XUV radiation and free-electron lasers.
