POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS
IN
MOLECULAR LASER SPECTROSCOPY
AND
CHEMICAL KINETICS
(NOTE: INDIVIDUALS WHO RESPONDED TO AN EARLIER ADVERTIZEMENT NEED
NOT REAPPLY BECAUSE THEIR APPLICATIONS ARE ON FILE)
Two postdoctoral research associate positions will be available
in October/November in molecular laser spectroscopy and chemical
kinetics at Mississippi State University's Diagnostic Instrumentation
& Analysis Laboratory (DIAL). DIAL is a multidisciplinary research
and development institute, funded predominantly by the Department of Energy
and the National Aeronautics & Space Administration. The major emphasis
of our research programs concerns application of modern instrumentation,
including lasers, to environmental, combustion and propulsion problems.
Many of the projects have both basic and applied aspects. The research
associate for the first project will work on application of laser
spectroscopy (especially cavity ring-down spectroscopy, photoionization/time-
of-flight mass-spectrometry, and laser-induced fluorescence) to
environmental/combustion problems. This position will start in
~October/November. He/she should have a strong background in laser
spectroscopy or a related area. The associate for the second project
will work on the kinetics of metal oxide formation, especially at high
temperatures. He/she should have experience in kinetics, preferably with
flow reactors. Familiarity with use of lasers and mass spectrometers for
species detection will be an asset. This position starts in ~November.
The associates can expect a salary of ~$30-32K per year, plus medical
insurance and moving expenses. Interested individuals with appropriate
research background should promptly send a cover letter and a
cv (preferably by e-mail or fax) and have 2-3 recommendation letters
sent directly to: Dr. R.Vasudev, Mississippi State University, Diagnostic
Instrumentation & Analysis Laboratory, 205 Research Boulevard,
Research & Technology Park, Starkville, MS 39759-9734; Fax:(601)-325-8465;
E-mail: [log in to unmask] Evaluation of applications will begin
in September/Ovtober.
We are an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution.
