The Reaction Dynamics Group, Department of
Chemistry,
University of Hawai'i at Manoa, invites applications for a
postdoctoral
position in the area of reaction dynamics and combustion
chemistry. The prime
directive of the experimental studies is to investigate the
formation of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) along with their hydrogen
deficient
precursors in combustion systems exploiting crossed molecular
beams experiments.
The appointment period is initially for one year, but can be
renewed annually
based on availability of funds and satisfactory progress. The
salary is
competitive and commensurate with experience. Successful
applicants should have
a strong background in one or more of the following: experimental
reaction
dynamics, molecular beams, combustion chemistry, UHV technology,
pulsed laser
systems. Solid communication skills in English (written, oral), a
publication
record in internationally circulated, peer-reviewed journals, and
willingness
to work in a team are mandatory. Only self-motivated and
energetic
candidates are encouraged to apply. Please send a letter of
interest, three
letters of recommendation, CV, and publication list to Prof. Ralf
I. Kaiser, Department
of Chemistry, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI
96822-2275, USA [[log in to unmask]].
The review of
applications will start March 1, 2018, and continues until the
position is
filled. A description of our current research group can be found
