Postdoctoral Researcher, Gas-Phase Kinetics

Sandia National Laboratories; Livermore (CA); In loco; USD 60.000 - 80.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA seeks a postdoctoral researcher to probe pressure-dependent gas-phase chemistry using cutting-edge experimental methods. You will work with Dr. Leonid Sheps and collaborate with Argonne National Labs on reaction dynamics, kinetics, and modeling.

The role involves presenting results at conferences and publishing in peer-reviewed journals. This is a temporary, onsite position focused on advanced laboratory kinetics and dynamics studies.

Competenze

• PhD in chemistry, physics, or related field.
• Experience in experimental chemical kinetics, mass spectrometry, or laser spectroscopy.
• Strong record of collaborative research and publications.

Mansioni

• Investigate chemical reactions initiated by photolysis, laser excitation, and thermal decomposition.
• Use multiplexed time-resolved mass spectrometry, photoelectron-photoion coincidence, and laser-induced fluorescence.
• Model complex reactions with a new in-house master equation optimization code.
• Collaborate with colleagues in computational kinetics to connect experiments with theory.
• Present results at national/international meetings and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
