Roger Miller has had difficulty posting this to the list, so asked me to do it
for him. Please send any replies to him, NOT to me.

> We are looking for a post-doc interested in moving into the emerging field
> of aerosol chemistry. This position will be joint between the research
> groups of Tom Baer and Roger Miller, on an AFOSR funded project dealing with
> the laser initiated combustion of single aerosol particles. The apparatus
> consists of a TOF laser-mass spectrometer into which we inject aerosol
> particles. These are detected by light scattering from two green diode
> lasers. This provides the triggering for a CO2 laser, used to "ignite" the
> particles and for both a YAG pumped system and an excimer laser. The goal
> is to study the formation of radical intermediates during the liquid state
> combustion of these particles. A VUV laser is being developed to carry out
> near threshold ionization and H atom detection. REMPI and LIF is also
> available for state selective probing of the products, from which
> temperatures can be determined for the vapor plume. To date we have
> observed NO2 elimination from nitrotoluene. We are now carrying out studies
> on higher energy molecules that can give rise to auto-catalytic processes.

> This apparatus will also be used to determine compositions of atmospheric
> aerosols, related to the PM2.5 issues. Ultimately we would like to develop
> methods that would enable us to depth profile such particles, providing
> detailed test of the molecules for organic aerosols and opening up a whole
> new range of uptake experiments.
