The Space Chemistry group of the Air Force Research Laboratory Space Vehicles Directorate at Hanscom AFB. MA, is looking to fill an NRC post-doctoral research associate position. The successful candidate will conduct experimental research on ion processes using guided-ion beam and photodissociation techniques. Projects include the study of hyperthermal chemistry of atmospheric ions with small organic molecules, ion-metal vapor chemistry, inelastic and elastic scattering of atomic ions with atoms, photodissociation dynamics of small cluster ions, and the collision-induced dissociation dynamics of diatomic ions at high levels of vibrational excitation. The latter project is a collaborative effort with Prof. C. Y. Ng and involves prolonged assignments at the Lawrence Berkeley Advanced Light Source. The conducted research applies to modeling of extreme environments such as those of reentry vehicles, meteors, and electric propulsion spacecraft thrusters. The National Research Council (NRC) Resident Research Associateship Program provides highly qualified and motivated individuals AFRL on-site research assignments for one year, with second and third year extensions possible. More information regarding the NRC associateship program can be obtained at the website, http://www4.nationalacademies.org/osep/rap.nsf <http://www4.nationalacademies.org/osep/rap.nsf> , or by calling Ms. Jacinta Kelly 202-334-1423.
