A postdoctoral position will be available in the Summer/Fall of 2004 to work
with Dr. Stephen Pratt in the Chemistry Division at Argonne National
Laboratory. The appointee will be involved in experimental laser-based
studies of the photoionization and photodissociation dynamics of small
polyatomic molecules in the gas phase. The goal of this research is to
characterize and elucidate sources of mode-specific behavior in the
ionization and dissociation dynamics of highly excited molecules. This work
involves a variety of complementary experimental techniques including
time-of-flight mass spectrometry, conventional and threshold/ZEKE
photoelectron spectroscopy, velocity map ion- and electron-imaging,
laser-induced fluorescence, and nonlinear laser techniques such as
laser-induced grating spectroscopy. Double- or multi-resonance techniques
will be used to excite the molecules of interest, although single-photon
vacuum ultraviolet techniques will be employed as appropriate.
The applicant should be a recent (or soon-to-be) Ph.D. in Chemistry,
Physics, or a related field, and have experience in experimental chemical,
atomic, or molecular physics. Please send a curriculum vitae and the names
of three references to Stephen Pratt, Building 200, Argonne National
Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439 or e-mail to [log in to unmask] Argonne
National Laboratory is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
