Two postdoctoral openings at SBU and BNL
Dear mailing list subscribers, There are two openings for postdoctoral research associate positions, described briefly below (for more details please contact me). Position 1: A postdoc will investigate novel electromechanical materials using NSLS-II beamline facilities at Brookhaven National Laboratory, with primary technique being X-ray absorption fine structure. This position will be in Stony Brook University (located in close proximity to Brookhaven), under the supervision of Prof. Anatoly Frenkel. Responsibilities will include setting up new in situ operations for testing novel materials under applied electric field, developing and applying fast timing methods (such as modulation excitation spectroscopy), and collaborating with other participants of the NSF-BSF funded US-Israel collaboration. Annual trips to Israel for collaborative research will be required. Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry or Materials Science, and expert knowledge of XAFS experiment, data analysis and modeling, documented in publications, are required. Position 2: Catalysis Center for Chemical Innovations (CCEI), an Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) at the University of Delaware, is hiring a postdoctoral research associate to work with multiple teams of catalysis researchers of CCEI on XAFS projects. The postdoc will lead collaborative efforts by helping develop synchrotron-based projects, plan experiments, lead the visiting researchers in data collection, and work with CCEI groups on subsequent publications. This position will be supervised jointly by Profs. Anatoly Frenkel (Stony Brook U.) and Jingguang Chen (Columbia U.). The postdoc will be stationed at Brookhaven National Laboratory and travel several times a year to U. Delaware for collaborative meetings. The background is recent Ph.D. in Chemistry or Materials Science. Strong background in catalysis and XAFS measurements, data analysis and modeling are expected. Three names of professional references are required with the applications that should include a cover letter describing prior experience and interest in the position, and a CV with a list of publications. These materials should be emailed to anatoly.frenkel@stonybrook.edu with a subject line: XAFS postdoc position. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Anatoly I.
