[Spm] Postdoc in single molecule conductivity

[Eric U Borguet]

A postdoctoral research position in single molecule conductivity and 
scanning probe microscopy of molecular wires is available. Candidate must 
have experience with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling 
Microscopy (STM).  Candidates should have experience obtaining atomic and 
molecular resolution with STM and AFM in ambient and under fluid. 
Candidate should have expertise in electrochemistry, preparation of single 
crystal electrodes, and growth of self-assembled monolayers.

Focus of project is single molecule conductivity of peptide nucleic acid 
based structure, the effect of molecule electrode linker groups, and redox 
controlled conductivity, in collaboration with a team of experimentalists 
and theorists at the Carnegie Mellon University, the University of 
Pittsburgh and Duke University.

A strong record of publication in peer-reviewed literature attesting to
these capabilities is required.   Additional responsibilities include
training and supervision of students, and preparation of reports and
manuscripts for publication.  Ph.D. in Chemistry or related discipline, 
awarded in the last last five years, is necessary. A background in 
physical chemistry or related discipline is desirable.
