A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the laboratory of Dr. David W. Chandler at Sandia National Laboratory in Livermore CA. The research is focused on understanding the basic chemistry and energy transfer dynamics associated with combustion. Crossed molecular beam techniques combined with Velocity Mapped Ion Imaging techniques are widely used in the laboratory to study such things as collision-induced dissociation of molecules, rotational energy transfer of electronically excited molecules, unimolecular dissociation dynamics and bimolecular reactions. Recent studies focus upon state-selected energy transfer and comparison to theory. In addition, development of new multiplexed, time-resolved, optical diagnostic techniques is underway. A PhD, conferred within the past five years, in a relevant discipline (Physical Chemistry or AMO Physics or Chemical Physics) is a requirement for this position. Experience with laser spectroscopy, molecular beam scattering, and/or other areas of fundamental experimental gas phase chemical physics and a knowledge of fundamental aspects of collision physics, chemical reactions and/or molecular spectroscopy are a requirement for this position. A strong publication record, excellent communication skills, experience with computer programming (LabVIEW, Matlab, C++), quantum chemical calculations, and innovative thinking are desired qualities of the applicant. At Sandia you will receive many benefits as a valued employee of a premier national multi-program engineering and science research laboratory. In Sandia’s Total Rewards package you will enjoy competitive pay, great benefits, a stimulating, positive environment and learning opportunities that will help build your career. More information may be found on our Careers website. Sandia National Laboratories is an Equal Opportunity Employer of qualified women, minorities, individuals with disabilities and protected veterans. To apply for this position one must go to Sandia web site and apply to position 648606.
