POSTDOCTORAL OPENING AT BROWN UNIVERSITY

A postdoctoral position will be available in the group of Prof. Lai-Sheng Wang at Brown University starting on July 1, 2019.  The projects are related to the investigation of size-selected clusters and cryogenically-cooled anions from electrospray ionization using photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution photoelectron imaging, and photodetachment spectroscopy. The following is a few selected recent publications:
