Post-doctoral Positions
Salary DOE&Q - Full Time -Design, prepare and complete neutron scattering experiments to examine the structure of organic photovoltaic and lignin based structural materials, in particular developing methods to modify lignin for use as precursors to carbon fiber. You will also participate in research in our group that revolves around understanding and optimizing multi-component polymer systems using non-covalent interactions. Participation means prepare samples, complete experiments, analyze data, complete manuscripts, and present talks on the results of the experiments, usually in collaboration with me and/or graduate students in our group. You will also be expected to mentor graduate students in my research group. PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics or Polymer Science with experience in studying polymer science required. To apply, please submit cover letter, resume and three references to: Dr. Mark Dadmun at dad@utk.edu
Salary DOE&Q - Full Time -One post-doctoral research position in theoretical chemistry is available immediately in the Hinde research group in the Chemistry Department at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The person in this position will be responsible for writing, debugging, and executing parallel codes that conduct dynamical simulations of cryogenic systems, and for producing written publications summarizing these calculations and simulations. Minimum/Required Qualifications: (1) An earned Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical physics, or a related field, with a Ph.D. dissertation written in some field of theoretical or computational chemistry, theoretical chemical physics, or a related area of theoretical molecular science; (2) Experience with code development in one of these fields using Fortran, C, C++, or a related language; and (3) Fluency with some variant of the Unix operating system. Individuals without demonstrated code development skills will not be considered for this position. Preferred/Desired Qualifications: (1) Experience with MPI- or OpenMP-based parallel code development; (2) Experience using GPU cards or other accelerators; (3) Experience using some type of ab initio quantum chemical code; and (4) Experience in one or more of the following simulation areas: classical molecular dynamics, quantum wavepacket dynamics, path integral molecular dynamics, or path integral Monte Carlo. To apply: Please submit a single PDF file that includes a cover letter, a full. CV, and contact information for three or more references to: rhinde@utk.edu.
Salary DOE&Q - Full Time -This post-doctoral position involves bio-organic chemistry, including both the synthesis of small organic molecules for use as probes and subsequent application of these compounds for biological studies. One component of this work will involve multi-step synthetic organic chemistry, including the design, synthesis and characterization of target molecules. In addition, this position will also involve subsequent biological studies using he synthesized compounds via techniques such as UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, protein binding assays, microarray analysis, gel electrophoresis, and ELISA. Candidates for this position must hold a Ph.D. in chemistry with a specialization in organic chemistry, broadly defined. Applicants will further benefit from experience in bio-organic chemistry, including the analysis of organic compounds using biochemical and analytical techniques, including UV/vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, protein binding assays, microarray analysis, gel electrophoresis, and ELISA. To apply: Submit a cover letter, resume, research summary and three references to: best@ion.chem.utk.edu.
