RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITION
THEORETICAL ATOMIC, MOLECULAR, AND OPTICAL PHYSICS
Applications are invited for a
postdoctoral research associate position in theoretical atomic, optical, and
surface physics beginning in Spring 2005. The selected candidate is expected to
vigorously participate in ongoing and emerging research projects, including the
interaction of atoms, ions, and intense, ultra-fast laser pulses with
molecules, surfaces, and nano structures, using state-of-the-art methods in
computational quantum dynamics. Applicants should have a strong background in
theoretical atomic or surface physics, large-scale computing, or ultra-fast
quantum dynamics. The initial appointment is for one year, but renewable for a
second and possibly third year. The KSU physics department and associated J.R.
Macdonald Laboratory have a strong AMO physics program that targets new and
exciting frontiers in ion- and laser-interactions with matter and was recently
ranked as one of the top 15 in the US. Send your letter of application,
curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and arrange for three letters of
recommendation to be send to: Prof. Uwe Thumm, Department of Physics, Kansas
State University, Manhattan, KS 66506-2601. Screening of applications will
begin immediately and continue until this position is filled. Kansas State
University is an affirmative action equal opportunity employer and actively
seeks diversity among its employees.
