Postdoctoral Associate

Job Summary

We are encouraging applications for a Postdoctoral Associate who will develop the theory for a new spectroscopy for intermolecular interactions. The candidate will work with a team groundbreaking an electric-acoustic spectrometer that selectively drives and detects intermolecular interations and developing new electric-acoustic spectral simulations. This spectroscopy is a step towards tailored intermolecular interactions to increase chemical separation yield and optimize separations design.
The University of Colorado Boulder is committed to building a culturally diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to an inclusive campus environment. We are an Equal Opportunity employer, including veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Who We Are

The Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) is a special partnership between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder.
