Dear Colleagues: A recent research opening has developed in my group for a
post doctoral research fellow with solid state NMR experience. A complete
description is provided below:
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE: The wood chemistry group is anticipating
hiring
a recent chemistry Ph.D. graduate student experienced in solid state NMR,
especially as it applies to organic polymers or wood. The successful candidate
will conduct fundamental research into the chemical mechanisms involved in the
formation of composite wood products using urea-formaldehyde (UF) and
phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins, for the production of oriented strandboard
(OSB), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and particleboard (PB). The post
doctoral research fellow will become involved in a research team directed at
developing new, energy-efficient catalyst technologies to improve the overall
manufacturing process. The proposed studies will be fundamental in nature but
directed at applied, real life problems. The applicant must be experienced in
13C CP/MAS and modern liquid NMR techniques. Additional experience in with
DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) techniques would be beneficial but not
necessary. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vitae and names and
addresses of three references to Dr. AJ. Ragauskas
The Institute of Paper Science and Technology is an independent, privately
supported graduate research institution allied with the Georgia Institute of
Technology (GA Tech) and accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and
Schools. We are located on the north side of GA Tech and the proposed research
program will be preformed in the modern organic chemistry laboratories of
IPST. A 400 MHz DMX Bruker spectrometer is available to the principal
investigator and researchers to perform all phases of the overall research
program. More details about the research facilities of Professor Ragauskas can
be found at http://home.ipst.edu/~aragausk/
