The Air Force Research Lab at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico is seeking an experimental physical chemist to conduct laboratory basic research using laser spectroscopy for applications involving development of satellite propulsion, advanced solar power sources, and models of thruster plume chemistry. Specifically, we are seeking a prospective or recent (within 5 years) PhD with experience in laser spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and data acquisition and analysis. Familiarity with theoretical chemistry is also desirable. Applicants must be US citizens. This is a one-year position with a mutual option for a second year, and is contingent upon successful application and funding through the National Research Council. Information about the application process, program stipend and benefits, and other policies can be found at sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/RAP/index.htm. The next due date for NRC submission is August 1, corresponding to a start date of January 2014. The submission package includes a research proposal, which is typically written in consultation with laboratory personnel and will be tailored to suit both the interests of the applicant and the research needs of AFRL. We encourage interested applicants to contact us to begin this process as soon as possible.
