POSTDOCTORAL APPOINTMENT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY (USA)
The Gas Phase Chemical Dynamics Program at Argonne National Laboratory
has an opening for a post doctoral appointment working with R. Glen
Macdonald. The research involves the use of high resolution
time-resolved near infrared and infrared absorption spectroscopy to
study the spectroscopy, dynamics and kinetics of radicals of interest to
combustion and atmospheric chemistry. The main thrust of the program
over the next few years will be to study the dynamics and kinetics of
atom + radical and radical + radical processes; however, other studies
are possible, depending on the qualifications and interests of the
successful candidate. Several recent articles will give potential
candidates an idea of the variety of problems that can be tackled with
this apparatus; a) Infrared Spectroscopy, J. Mol. Spectroscopy 186, 349
(1997). b) Chemical Kinetics, J. Phys. Chem. 102, 4585 (1998), and c)
Chemical Dynamics, J. Chem. Phys. 109, 4224 (1998). The successful
candidate should be planning to graduate soon or be a recent graduate
from a Chemical Dynamics or Kinetics Program(within the last 3 years),
and have experience in laser spectroscopy, vacuum techniques, and
computer data acquisition. A background in rovibrational spectroscopy
of polyatomic molecules would be a desirable asset. An application will
require a CV and three letters of recommendation. For further
information, interested candidates should contact Glen Macdonald.
The Gas Phase Chemical Dynamics Program at Argonne consists of ten
permanent staff members, five theoreticians and five experimentalists.
It offers an unique opportunity for the close interaction between theory
and experiment. Argonne is a National Laboratory operated by the
University of Chicago for the Department of Energy, and is an equal
opportunity employer. The laboratory is located about 25 miles west of
Chicago, Illinois, USA.
