Postdoctoral Position in Laser Spectroscopy and Chemical Physics A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Dennis Clouthier at the University of Kentucky. The research involves laser spectroscopic studies of reactive intermediates containing main group elements (C, Si, Ge, Sn, B, P etc.) with particular emphasis on those that are of importance in semiconductor growth processes and astrophysics. The transient species are produced by laser ablation or electric discharge and are studied in the gas phase in free jet expansions. A recent new initiative in our laboratory is the study of the electronic spectra of ions. Laser-induced fluorescence, resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization, stimulated emission pumping, wavelength resolved fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime and quantum beat spectroscopies are used to detect and characterize the molecules and free radicals of interest. We also use a variety of quantum chemical methods to predict molecular structures and spectroscopic parameters as an aid to the experimental studies. The University of Kentucky is in Lexington, KY, a small city of 300,000 people situated in the beautiful bluegrass region of Kentucky. Furnished housing, which includes all utilities, cable television, and internet connections at no extra charge, is available on campus. Well-qualified individuals with experience in experimental laser spectroscopy, chemical physics and vacuum techniques are invited to apply by sending an email message to Dennis Clouthier ([log in to unmask]) with details about their background and research interests. *********************************************************** Dr. Dennis J.
