The Columbia University Astrophysics Laboratory invites applications for
a Postdoctoral Research Scientist position in Experimental Atomic and
Molecular Physics. The successful candidate will join the group headed
by Senior Research Scientist Dr. Daniel Wolf Savin and will participate
in designing, building, and performing experiments utilizing a novel
merged beams apparatus to study the interstellar chemical reactions
leading to the cosmic origins of organic chemistry. For further
information about this project, please go to

infrared lasers, apparatus design and construction, single particle
detectors, and associated electronics. Computer skills required include
programming; multidimensional data analysis; LabView, Autodesk Inventor,
SIMION, Mathematica, or similar; Linux OS; and Windows OS.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in at least some
of the areas listed above, a proven research ability, and evidence of
future research potential. They are expected to be able to work well
independently and cooperatively with a team and to communicate the
results of their research both orally and in writing. Demonstrated
written and oral communication skills are highly desirable. Questions
