POST DOCTORAL POSITION , ION - ORIENTED MOLECULE COLLISIONS
Post Doctoral position with Professor Peter Harland and Dr Robert Maclagan,
Chemistry Department, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800,
Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND.
A Marsden Fund (New Zealand Government) Post Doctoral position is available
from 1st March 2000 for up to 24 months to investigate the dynamics of ion
and electron collisions with spatially oriented molecules by crossed
particle beams. Experience in experimental chemical physics, preferably
involving crossed molecular beam studies, would be an advantage. A working
knowledge of ultra-high vacuum systems, computer interfacing of
instrumentation and techniques used for the measurement of small signals is
essential. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in one
or more of the following areas: charged particle studies; ion-imaging;
instrument design; and computational chemistry.
The project leaders maintain collaborative links with international
research groups including Rice University, The University of Georgia and
The University of Oxford.
Salary $NZD45,000 p.a. The average wage in New Zealand is $NZ35,000. The
cost of living in Christchurch is substantially lower than for the U.S. or
Europe and the Post Doctoral salary will allow the appointee and family to
live comfortably.
Christchurch is a city of 325,000 with excellent sporting and cultural
opportunities. The Chemistry Department is recognised as one of the top
Chemistry Departments in the Southern Hemisphere.
