Postdoctoral Position at the University of Richmond: A post-doctoral position in computational and theoretical chemistry is available at the University of Richmond. This DOE funded project seeks to explore the combustion and pyrolysis pathways of the molecular constituents of asphaltenes contained in oil shale. The project involves the use of quantum chemistry to explore reaction pathways and statistical rate theory to determine rate constants for those pathways. Candidates with a strong background in quantum chemistry and/or statistical rate theory are encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will be a highly motivated and productive scientist with excellent writing and verbal communication skills interested in joining a productive team of students, post-baccalaureate and post-doctoral fellows. Excellent computational facilities and system administrative support are available to support the research.

All candidates must complete a staff application for this position on line at http://www.urjobs.org and submit a vita and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to: Dr. Carol Parish, Department of Chemistry, University of Richmond, VA 23173 (e-mail cparish=-=richmond.edu). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

Located minutes from downtown Richmond, Virginia, the University of Richmond (http://www.richmond.edu) blends the intimacy of a small college with exceptional academic, research, and cultural opportunities usually found only at large institutions.
