Physics Department of Yeshiva University in New York City will have an opening for a postdoctoral research associate position, beginning September 2012. The postdoc will develop new experimental methods of investigations of thermal, structural and electronic properties of supported metal clusters. He or she will contribute to the ongoing research in heterogeneous catalysis in Anatoly Frenkel's group and will be stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Required qualifications: expert knowledge of XAFS and its applications to nanomaterials, hands-on experience with vibrational spectroscopies, experience with in situ experiments. The research will be performed under the direction of Prof. Anatoly Frenkel primarily at the Synchrotron Catalysis Consortium at the NSLS but also at other synchrotrons as needed: APS, ESRF, SLS and, eventually, NSLS-II. Applicants should forward cover letter and CV to Prof. Frenkel at anatoly.frenkel@yu.edu. Yeshiva University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
