POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE (A23001): The Institute of Paper Science &
Technology has a position available for a recent chemistry Ph.D. graduate
with experience in spectroscopy or organic chemistry. The research project
will explore the fundamental chemical mechanisms of chlorine dioxide
oxidative fragmentation of lignin and other natural biopolymers. The
successful applicant will become part of a research team focused on
developing new chemical bleaching systems. The applicant must be
experienced advanced liquids NMR methods (1H, 13C, 1D and 2D methods)
working knowledge with solids NMR would be beneficial but is not necessary.
Experience in modern chromatography systems including HPLC, GC, GPC, and
FT-IR, and UV/VIS spectroscopy are required. A background in natural
product isolation or characterization of biopolymers is highly desired,
although not necessary. All experiments will be performed in new
laboratory facilities fully equipped with a 400 MHz NMR and computational
equipment needed for the proposed studies. Applicants should submit a
cover letter, resume, and three professional references to Human Resources
Manager, 500 10th Street, Atlanta, GA 30318, or fax to (404)894-5302 or
e-mail to pat.hughes@ipst.edu.
