CaSTL is continuously looking to expand the team. Please check regularly for job openings ranging from scientific research positions to job searches for administrative assistants.
Postdoctoral
Scholar Position at the Interface of Electronic Structure
The NSF Center for Chemical Innovation "Chemistry at the Space-Time
Limit" (CaSTL) at UC Irvine announces an opening for a postdoctoral
scholar at the interface of electronic structure theory and plasmonics.
The successful candidate will participate in a joint research effort of
the Mills and Furche groups aiming to develop and apply electronic
structure methods for plasmonic systems. Additional information is
available at www.chem.uci.edu/CCI.
UC Irvine offers a highly supportive and stimulating environment for
postdoctoral studies, see www.grad.uci.edu/postdoc.
Candidates should have a strong background in the development and
implementation of electronic structure methods, e.g. (time-dependent)
density functional theory. Those with experience in solvation models,
embedding, or electrodynamics will be of particular interest to us.
Participation in Center activities and joint experimental-theoretical
projects is expected. The PhD in Physics or Chemistry is required.
Applicants should send a CV, a list of publications, and arrange for
three letters of recommendation to be sent to:
CaSTL

Postdoctoral Scholar Position Available in Ultrafast Spectroscopy
An interdisciplinary group of faculty at the University of California, Irvine seeks a postdoctoral scientist.
Our research focuses on the development of ultrafast spectroscopy in combination with scanning probe microscopy to explore the ultrafast behavior of single molecules. This collaborative project is directed by a team of professors including Wilson Ho (Physics), Ara Apkarian (Chemistry), Doug Mills (Physics), Eric Potma (Chemistry), Philip Collins (Physics), and Nien-Hui Ge (Chemistry).
The candidate must have a strong background in ultrafast spectroscopy/microscopy and extensive hands-on experience with femtosecond lasers. The candidate must also possess the ambition to learn more about areas in which they have less expertise. The candidate will carry out research centered in the laboratory of one PI, but also coordinate the activities of multiple graduate students working in each of the PI’s labs. The initial appointment is for one year, and is renewable for up to two additional years.
Interested candidates should send a CV with three letters of recommendation by e-mail to:
Eric Potma
Assistant Professor of Chemistry

Postdoctoral Scholar Position in Nanoelectronic Devices
The Collins research group at University of California, Irvine anticipates hiring one or more postdoctoral scholars for positions beginning August 1, 2009. Multiple research opportunities are available in the general field of carbon nanotube electronic devices. Specifically, we investigate the interplay of electronic behavior with chemical modifications and are studying dynamic interactions relevant to fuel cell and biosensor applications. Our group website www.physics.uci.edu/~collinsp/ provides additional information.
Postdoctoral candidates must have completed a Ph.D. and have extensive experience with electronic or electrochemical characterization, though other relevant specializations will be considered advantageous. Annual salary will range from $35,500 - $45,000 depending on applicant's experience. Applicants should send a CV, list of publications, and contact information for three references to:
