A postdoctoral position researching photochemistry in snow is available
with Bill Simpson at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and
Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks. In this project,
radiation transfer models are being developed and tested for calculation
of photolysis rates of snow-adsorbed molecules. These photolysis rates
are important for snow-pack photochemistry and interpretation of ice
cores. Additionally, similar heterogeneous photochemistry is likely to
occur on atmospheric ice particles.

The project couples experiments with computer modeling, therefore,
candidates should have a strong background in experimental chemistry
and/or physics. Experience with radiation transfer theory, radiation
measurements, and/or gas chromatographic techniques is desirable. Most
importantly, Bill Simpson seeks a skilled and highly motivated
experimentalist interested in Arctic chemistry. The position is
currently open.

An application should include a CV with publication list and the names
and contact information (phone numbers, email addresses) of two or three
recommenders.
