Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Postdoc to investigate atmospheric chemistry of ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A Postdoctoral position is available for a computational chemist in the Dibble group at SUNY-ESF to investigate kinetics and mechanism of mercury redox chemistry in the atmosphere. The position would start on or after November 1, 2020. This position is funded by a grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation for two years at $48,000 per year. Working remotely is feasible. Members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
The successful candidate will lead computational chemistry efforts to understand the kinetics and mechanism of mercury redox chemistry in the atmosphere. Mercury is emitted to the atmosphere mostly as atomic mercury, which travels the globe before being deposited to ecosystems. Hg(II) compounds undergo deposition much more readily than Hg(0), so the redox chemistry of mercury largely controls how long this neurotoxin stays in the atmosphere and where it deposits to ecosystems. Your results will be included in regional and global models of atmospheric mercury.
