A Postdoctoral Fellow position is available to perform quantum chemistry calculations to understand the processing of surfaces of Kuiper Belt Objects. The candidate would be a part of a team of several investigators including a theorist (Head), physical chemistry experimentalists (Kaiser) and astronomers all investigating Kuiper Belt Objects. For additional research details see the Head and Kaiser web pages at http://manoa.hawaii.edu/chem/index.php? s=Faculty. The candidate should have at least a Ph. D. in chemistry or physics; prior experience with computational chemistry; ability to carry out independent research and prepare manuscripts of results for publication. A better qualified candidate should have extensive computational chemistry experience with high level calculations on ground and excited states for small molecules in matrix environments; some experience with performing QM/MM calculations; and an interest in astrochemistry. The pay range is competitive and commensurate with experience starting from $36,000 per annum. To apply: Submit cover letter indicating how you satisfy the minimum and desirable qualifications, 3 letters of recommendation, Curriculum vitae, statement of interest. Only electronic applications will be accepted. Application address: Prof. John D. Head, Department of Chemistry, University of Hawai’i at Manoa, 2545 McCarthy Mall, Honolulu, HI 96822-2275. Inquiries: Prof. John D. Head (808-956-5787; [log in to unmask]) or Prof. Ralf I. Kaiser (808-956-5731; [log in to unmask]). Continuous recruitment Review of applications will begin on Oct-1-2009 and will continue until the position is filled.
