Staff Position in Experimental Chemical Kinetics/Dynamics Chemical Dynamics Program Chemistry Division Argonne National Laboratory The Chemical Dynamics Program in the Chemistry Division of Argonne National Laboratory on the outskirts of Chicago, Illinois, invites applications for a full-time staff position in experimental chemical kinetics/dynamics, with an expected start date on or before October, 2003. The Chemical Dynamics Program has a scientific focus on basic research in combustion. Candidates in any experimental area of chemical kinetics/dynamics germane to this focus are encouraged to apply. Consideration will also be given to suitable candidates who have additional interests in other areas of research such as catalysis (inorganic or biological), nanoscience, or advanced X-ray techniques. Hiring at the rank of assistant chemist or chemist is anticipated but candidates for the higher rank of senior chemist will also be considered. Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree, be qualified to build and represent a strong research program, and have an inclination to collaborate with other group members to achieve joint scientific goals. Salary will be commensurate with experience. The Chemical Dynamics Program currently employs nine staff members with a broad complement of flow tube, shock tube, photoionization, and photodissociation facilities. X-ray diffraction, scattering and spectroscopy facilities at the Advance Photon Source at Argonne are also available to the group. The Chemical Dynamics Program is well known for experimental/theoretical synergism, and the expertise of the group is comparably split between these two disciplines. Thus, extensive computational facilities are available to model experimental results. Information regarding the interests of the Chemical Dynamics Program can be found on the web at http://chemistry.anl.gov/chem-dyn/. The Chemical Dynamics program is part of a Chemistry Division with more than 50 staff scientists. The division is one of several dozen divisions that span all aspects of science and engineering at Argonne National Laboratory. The Laboratory is largely funded by the Department of Energy and managed under contract by the University of Chicago. Argonne National Laboratory is an equal opportunity employer. More information on Argonne National Laboratory can be found at http://www.anl.gov/. Applicants should submit a detailed CV including a full list of publications, a statement of research experience and interests, and the names of at least three references. To ensure full consideration, please send your resume by May 1, 2003 to: Susan Walker, reference CHM 304825-9 via e-email to: [log in to unmask] or fax to 630/252-9388.
