POST-DOCTORAL APPOINTMENT AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY (USA)
GAS PHASE CHEMICAL DYNAMICS AND KINETICS
The Gas Phase Chemical Dynamics Program at Argonne National Laboratory has
an opening for a post-doctoral appointment working with R. Glen
Macdonald. The Gas Phase Chemical Dynamics Program consists of six
experimentalists and five theoreticians working on related problems of
chemical reactivity, see http//:chemistry.anl.gov. The current opening is
in a research program based on the use of high-resolution time-resolved
near-infrared and infrared absorption spectroscopy to study the dynamics
and kinetics radical + radical processes of interest to combustion
chemistry. Several recent articles will give potential candidates an idea
of the problems that will be tackled: J. Phys. Chem. A 105, 6817 (2001),
and J. Phys. Chem. A 109, 5388 (2005). The successful candidate should be
planning to graduate soon or be a recent graduate from a Chemical Dynamics
or Kinetics Program. The initial effort will be to integrate a new
continuous-wave tunable OPO infrared laser with the existing apparatus.
Candidates should have experience in chemical dynamics or kinetics, laser
systems, vacuum techniques, and computer data acquisition. A background
in rovibrational spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules would be a desirable
asset. An application will require a CV and three letters of
recommendation to be sent to: R. G. Macdonald, Argonne National
Laboratory, Chemistry Division, 9700 South Cass Ave., Argonne, IL, 60439
or email: [log in to unmask] For further information, interested
candidates should contact Glen Macdonald by email: [log in to unmask] or
phone: (630) 252-7742.
