Research Positions
Post-Doctorate Position Chem and Bio Technologies Department
at Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico
The Department supports a mission of ensuring our nation's
energy and nation security through chemistry and biology.
Research in this department is characterized by both applied
and fundamental research in the areas of polymer synthesis,
sol-gel chemistry, hybrid organic-inorganic materials, foams,
aerosols, transport phenomena, and surface science.
This post-doctorate position will support a growing fuel
cell research effort in the Chem and Bio Technologies Department
at Sandia National Laboratories. Responsibilities will include
the synthesis and characterization of organic and hybrid organic-inorganic
materials for proton exchange membranes. This research will
also emphasis establishing structure-property relationships
of these materials, and provide exposure to molecular modeling,
and fuel cell testing. This position will offer considerable
intellectual and professional growth with the potential of
becoming permanent staff. A benefit and relocation package
is available. The salary is $67,900 per year. This position
requires a United States Department of Energy Security Clearance,
which requires United States Citizenship.
A Doctorate degree in Chemistry, Polymer Science, Chemical
Engineering, or a related field. Demonstrated laboratory experience
in the synthesis, and characterization of organic materials
is required. The candidate must have strong communication
and writing skills. The candidate must be able to work both
in a team environment, independently, and effectively balance
parallel work on multiple projects.
Expertise in the area of synthesizing and characterizing
proton exchange membranes is highly desired. The preferred
candidate will have experience synthesizing and characterizing
polymer materials. Familiarity with polymer characterization
techniques will include NMR, FTIR, DSC, DMTA, AFM, TEM, GPC,
and TGA. Sandia National Laboratories is an equal opportunity
employer (M/D/F/V). Please contact or send resume to: Chris

Award Opportunities
TALENTE As part of the Munich crafts and trades council,
TALENTE is an annual award for young talent who work in applied
arts and technology. It is a nominal prize combined with a
catalogue publication plus the opportunity to get exhibited
in the international trades fair special exhibition —
TALENTE (free transport of objects/projects). The purpose
is to give young artists, designers and engineers an opportunity
to present their outstanding abilities to an international
audience. TALENTE has two sections: crafts/design and technology.
In the technology section we present the projects of young
individuals or teams. Projects may belong to any sector of
engineering as long as they are finished products which we
can put on display. For the technology section we are still
looking for candidates this year. As such, the deadline has
been postponed to the end of December (31 December 2002).
Students who are interested in further information should
contact Titus Kockel.
