*Gas Phase Reaction Dynamics: Postdoctoral Fellows, University of Hawaii
at Manoa *
Applications for two postdoctoral positions in the field of experimental
physical chemistry (reaction dynamics) are invited in the Department of
Chemistry, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, and UH NASA Astrobiology
Institute. The primary goal is to study the gas phase formation of
organo-boron and organo-silicon molecules relevant to rocket propulsion
systems and astrochemistry (silicon chemistry in circumstellar envelopes
and interstellar shocks), respectively. The appointment period is
initially for one year, but can be renewed based on availability of
funds and satisfactory progress.
The salary is competitive and commensurate with experience ranging.
Successful applicants should have a strong background in one or more of
the following: experimental reaction dynamics, molecular beams, UHV
technology, LIF, pulsed laser systems. Programming experience in C,
C++, labview, and/or autocad is desirable. A description of our current
research group can be found at
http://www.chem.hawaii.edu/Bil301/welcome.html.
Solid communication skills in English (written, oral) and a documented
publication record in internationally circulated, peer-reviewed journals
are mandatory. Only self-motivated and energetic candidates are
encouraged to apply; please send a letter of interest, three letters of
recommendation, CV, and publication list to Prof. Ralf I. Kaiser,
Department of Chemistry, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI
96822-2275, USA. Only complete, electronic applications in pdf format
([log in to unmask]) will be considered. The review of applications will
start March 1, 2012; candidates are selected by March 31, 2012.
