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.
