I have three postdoc openings under the general titles

Electrochemistry/Nanosensor Postdoctoral Opportunity!

Surface Chemistry/Sensor Postdoctoral Opportunity!

Ultrafast Nonlinear Interface Spectroscopy Postdoctoral Opportunity!

1) Electrochemistry/Nanosensor Post-doctoral Opportunity

Nanoscale Carbon Electrodes for Intracellular Electrochemistry as part of a collaboration with groups in Penn Engineering, Drexel Engineering and Temple University's medical school.

Candidate should have significant electrochemistry and/or Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) experience. Expertise in the following areas would be useful;
microelectrodes, voltammetry, surface modification, metal deposition, sensors, electrochemistry, carbon materials, microscopy [Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)].

2) Surface Modification for Hydrogen and Humidity Sensors

NASA funded research in collaboration with a sensor development company.

Candidate should preferably have surface chemistry/modification experience.
Expertise in the following areas would be useful; growth of self-assembled monolayers, metal deposition, sensors, electrochemistry, preparation of single crystal electrodes, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM).

A strong record of publication in peer-reviewed literature attesting to these capabilities is required. Additional responsibilities include training and supervision of students, and preparation of reports and manuscripts for publication. Ph.D. in Chemistry or related discipline, awarded in the last last five years, is necessary. A strong background in physical/surface chemistry is desirable.

3) Nonlinear Spectroscopy and Dynamics at Interfaces

A postdoctoral position is available in the vibrational spectroscopy and dynamics of molecular species at liquid interfaces, with opportunities to contribute to the development of novel infrared sources for nonlinear spectroscopy.

Familiarity with ultrafast lasers is strongly desired, and a knowledge of femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy is a plus. Candidate should preferably have experience with vibrational sum-frequency and/or second harmonic generation from interfaces. Expertise in the following areas would be useful:
surface chemistry, self-assembled monolayers, sensors, electrochemistry,...

A strong record of publications in peer-reviewed literature attesting to these capabilities is required. Additional responsibilities include training and supervision of students, and preparation of reports and manuscripts for publication. Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics or related discipline, awarded in the last last five years, is necessary. A strong background in physical/surface chemistry is desirable.
