PERSONNEL There are currently five members of Professor Smith's Research Group: EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES There are currently employment opportunities with Prof. Smith's Research Group. The details are outlined in the announcement below: There are currently immediate openings for two or three postdoctoral researchers in my group. I seek self-motivated individuals who are interested in applying fundamental principles of photochemistry and reaction dynamics to complex problems in atmospheric organic chemistry and/or interstellar ion chemistry. Some experience with UHV vacuum technology, mass spectrometry and/or instrument design is desired. We are a highly collaborative group with ties in the area of Titan organic chemistry to research groups in Planetary Science at the University of Arizona (J. Lunine, R. Yelle), Caltech (J. Beauchamp, D. Dougherty), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (P. Beauchamp), and in the chemistry of the interstellar medium with TU Chemnitz (D. Gerlich). One of the projects will involve development of instrumentation for the study of small to intermediate sized organic compounds in plasma and VUV photochemically exposed atmospheric mixtures and application of analytical sampling and chromatographic techniques for resolving complex organic mixtures relevant to Titan haze chemistry. The work will be performed both in my Tucson laboratory as well as at the Advanced Light Source. The other project will involve the design and construction of a new generation 4K-800K 22-pole radiofrequency ion trap apparatus employing atomic/radical beams for the study of ion-atom/radical collision processes. This work and the construction will occur in Tucson with close ties to efforts in Chemnitz. If you're interested in applying for these positions, CLICK HERE and search the postings for Job #32878. If you're an undergraduate or graduate student interested in learning more about the research conducted by Prof. Smith's Research Group and would like to know more, you can email any questions to the group through abrazier@email.arizona.edu and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
