Postdoctoral Appointment in Theoretical Molecular Physics
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at The
University of Georgia to conduct theoretical/computational
research in molecular physics for astrophysical applications.
The project, supported by a NASA grant, involves
the calculation of molecular line lists, photodissociation
cross sections, and molecule-molecule collisional excitation
rate coefficients for species of importance to Extrasolar
Giant Planets (EGPs). The successful candidate will work closely
with Phillip Stancil, Tim Heil, and Kate Kirby (CfA)
for the production of such data, which will in some cases require
the computation of potential energy surfaces. The project will also
require close collaboration with Peter Hauschildt and Andres
Schweitzer to test the results in advanced EGP models.
The position is expected to be available by May or June 2001 and the
initial appointment is for one year, possibly renewable for a second
or more years depending on available funding and progress. Candidates
should have a recent Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, or related field.
Inquires and applications, including a CV, statement of research
interests, and the names and addresses (no letters at this time, please)
of three references, should be addressed (electronically if possible)
to:
Prof. Phillip C. Stancil
Department of Physics and Astronomy
The University of Georgia
Athens, GA 30602-2451

The application deadline is March 31, 2001, but the search will
continue until a suitable candidate is identified. The University
of Georgia is an Equal Opportunity Employer. For additional information
