A postdoctoral position is available in the lab of Scott Anderson, at the
University of Utah, Chemistry Department. The research involves deposition
of size-selected metal clusters on well characterized oxide supports in UHV,
and studying how the physical and chemical properties change with cluster
size, substrate preparation, and deposition conditions. Tools available
include XPS, ISS, AES, IRAS, TPD, pulsed reaction mass spectrometry, and
(via a new collaboration) single electron tunneling spectroscopy and
imaging. Typical results can be seen in the following papers:
"Cluster size effects on CO oxidation activity, adsorbate affinity, and
temporal behavior of model Aun/TiO2 catalysts", J. Chem. Phys. 123 (2005)
124710.
"Agglomeration, Support Effects, and CO Adsorption on Au/TiO2 (110) Prepared
by Ion Beam Deposition" Surf. Sci. 578 (2005) 5-19
"Cluster size effects on hydrazine decomposition on Irn/Al2O3/NiAl(110)",
Surface Science (in press).
Further information, including links to these publications, can be found on
at: www.chem.utah.edu/chemistry/faculty/anderson/anderson.html
My preference is for a person with experience in UHV surface
science/chemistry or generation/deposition of intense cluster ion beams.
The position includes a competitive salary and full health benefits.
Interested candidates should apply, and arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be sent directly to Scott Anderson, 315 S. 1400 E. Rm
2020, Chemistry Dept, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, or by

Salt Lake City is a great place to live -- large enough to have a good
selection of things to do, but small enough to be hassle-free and relatively
inexpensive. The Wasatch mountains, with excellent hiking, skiing, biking,
.. are just east of the city. Fifteen national parks/monuments are within
a half-day drive.
