We are searching for a postdoctoral research associate in the Molecular
Physics Laboratory at SRI. Candidates are sought for a position using laser
ionization mass spectrometry, including both nanosecond and femtosecond
laser systems, to measure explosives at very low concentration in the
laboratory. This is preliminary work, with the ultimate goal of land mine
detection (though instrument development is not part of this project). The
position is at Stanford University, under the administration of Jay
Jeffries, but the work will be performed at SRI International under the
general supervision of David Crosley ([log in to unmask]) and Harald Oser
([log in to unmask]). The explosives work is part of a program at SRI
developing laser photoionization to detect a large variety of compounds at
trace quantities. Experience in spectroscopy using pulsed tunable lasers
is a requirement for this position, and experience with femtosecond and
picosecond lasers is strongly desired. Familiarity with a time-of-flight
mass spectrometer is useful but not required. This position, with this
particular research topic, can be guaranteed only for eight months. There
is however a strong likelihood of moving directly to an SRI postdoctoral
position in laser spectroscopic studies after that time period. Please
respond to Crosley including your resume, and the names, phone numbers, and
relationship to you of 3 references.
