PhD Position
Added: 11th June 2010
Title: Irradiation of cold molecular nanosystems by (20-150keV) protons
Location : Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon-Université de Lyon in the IPM group
The Institut de Physique Nucléaire de Lyon is seeking applications for a three years Ph.D studentship on the experimental
investigation of ionisation-induced processes in ultra-cold mixed clusters, funded by the COLDIRR Project (ANR programme Blanc 2010)

Assistant Professor position at the University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France
(added 06/03/06)
An Assistant Professor position will be created in Toulouse and a part
concerns radiation damage (group of P.Moretto-Capelle, A.LePadellec, IRSAMC,
LCAR, Univ.Paul Sabatier Toulouse, France)
Our group will study collisions between fast low-charged ions and small
gas-phase neutral bio molecules (DNA, RNA bases, nucleotide..). Protons ions
will be produced using the Toulouse accelerator. Its energy range (1-150 qkeV)
covers the Bragg Peak range which is of major importance in radiotherapy.
Collision induced fragmentation of molecules as well as secondary electron
emission during the collision are investigated . The latter are important for
radiobiology, since they can interact with other neighbouring molecules in
biological medium and cause DNA damages as shown by the L. Sanche group (Sherbrooke
University). Therefore it is very important to measure their corresponding
kinetic energy spectrum as well as angular distribution. In order to gain the
maximum information on the final state, electron spectroscopy will be done in
correlation with the charged fragments of the bio-molecule.
