A DOE-funded postdoctoral position is available at the Argonne National Laboratory, Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division for research work on the mechanism of solar energy conversion in natural and artificial photosynthetic assemblies. We are looking for highly motivated scientists with experience in pulsed EPR methods and data analysis. Candidates should have prior Ph.D. (within 5 years) in a discipline such as physical chemistry, biochemistry, physics or biophysics. Good written and communication skills are required. The candidate will join a team of biochemists and physical chemists in the Solar Energy Conversion Group. The project will involve the analysis of coupled structural and electron transfer dynamics in natural and artificial photosynthetic assemblies using a range of time-resolved, multi-frequency (9, 35, 140 GHz), and multi-dimensional (ENDOR, ELDOR) EPR experiments.

Argonne National Laboratory offers excellent compensation and benefits packages. Candidates should submit curriculum vitae, lists of publications/patents/honors/awards, and the names and complete mailing addresses of three professional references through the Argonne website at http://www.anl.gov/jobs under Job Search for Postdoctoral/Job Openings, for Requisition Number 315227 CSE. Contact Dr. Oleg Poluektov (oleg@anl.gov) for further information.
