[Spm] Postdoctoral position at Lehigh University

[David T. Moore]

A postdoctoral position is available immediately at Lehigh University  
in the general area of experimental physical chemistry.  The goal of  
the research project is the development of spectroscopic approaches to  
elucidate chemical reaction mechanisms on nanoparticle (NP) catalysts,  
with a particular focus on systems involved in the development of  
alternative energy technologies.  The primary focus is on using  
vibrational spectroscopy to probe the structures of reactant-NP  
complexes stabilized in cryogenic matrices and helium nanodroplets.    
Complementary microscopy studies of nanoparticle structures will also  
be undertaken.  Analysis of experimental vibrational spectra will be  
carried out with the aid of density functional theory (DFT)  
calculations.

Highly-qualified candidates will have experience in several of the  
following areas: infrared spectroscopy, synthesis and reactions of  
nanoparticle catalysts, high and ultrahigh vacuum methods, mass  
spectrometry.   The position will involve working closely with  
graduate and undergraduate students.  Interested individuals should  
send their CV (with publication list) and a list of three potential  
references (phone numbers and email addresses) to  
david.moore at lehigh.edu.  Applications will be reviewed until the  
position is filled.
