POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOW POSITION AT SRI INTERNATIONAL
The Molecular Physics Laboratory (MPL) at SRI International is searching for well-qualified candidates for a post-doctoral position in experimental chemical physics / physical chemistry. A variety of research projects involve experiments measuring collisional energy transfer of photolysis products and heterogeneous chemistry relevant to planetary and terrestrial atmospheres. Suitable candidates will need to have an understanding of reaction kinetics, laser spectroscopy, and the airglow of planetary atmospheres.
The postdoctoral fellow will be responsible for laboratory operations, laser maintenance, vacuum system operation, data acquisition, data reduction and analysis.
The postdoctoral fellow will be part of the Physical Sciences Division's Molecular Physics Laboratory, a 25-person research group specializing in the research areas of upper atmospheric science, biomedical optics, and trace-species detection.
Requirements: Recent Ph.D. in Physical Sciences. Prior experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable: laser detection methods, molecular spectroscopy, laser photolysis, laser photoionization mass spectrometry, laboratory studies of ices, and heterogeneous reaction kinetics.
SRI International is a nonprofit contract research organization, located in Menlo Park, California, in the San Francisco Bay region, and is one of the largest such establishments in the world. Many areas of research are represented by the investigations carried out at SRI, including chemistry, physics, engineering, life sciences, computer sciences, education, and a variety of other disciplines. MPL has an international reputation for creative and innovative research in atmospheric studies, combustion processes, surface science, plasma research, and molecular beam research.
Appointment is for a minimum of one year, with a second year normally being available upon mutual agreement. Full benefits are extended to Postdoctoral Fellows, and assistance is available for relocation.
