Columbia University Astrophysics Laboratory invites applications for a
Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in Experimental Molecular
Physics/Physical Chemistry. The successful candidate will join the
group headed by Senior Research Scientist Dr. Daniel Wolf Savin and will
participate in designing, building, and performing experiments utilizing
a novel merged beams apparatus to study key interstellar chemical
reactions. Additional information about this project can be found at
http://www.astro.columbia.edu/~savin.
The appointment is initially for one year, with the possibility of
renewal for up to two additional years; this is contingent upon the
availability of funds and mutual satisfaction.
The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in Physics, Applied Physics,
Chemistry, or a related field. Desired laboratory skills include
experience with fast ion beams, ion optics, ultra-high vacuum
techniques, infrared lasers, apparatus design and construction, single
particle detectors, and associated electronics. Desired computer skills
include programming, multidimensional data analysis, LabView, Python,
Autodesk Inventor, SIMION, Linux/Mac OS, and Windows OS.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in at least some
of the areas listed above, a proven research ability, and evidence of
future research potential. They are expected to be able to work well
independently and cooperatively with a team and to communicate the
results of their research both orally and in writing. Demonstrated
written and oral communication skills are highly desirable. Questions
