Postdoctoral Research Associate – Physical Chemistry, Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York, USA (Deadline: 31.10.2025)

The Chemistry Division is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate in the EPIP group.

The successful candidate will use pulse radiolysis as a tool to study fundamental molecular energy conversion processes such as charge separation, transfer/transport and recombination, as well as projects with applications in light-driven chemical transformations, quantum information science, microelectronics and energy storage.

The research will involve the use of pulse radiolysis at the Chemistry Division’s 9 MeV Laser Electron Accelerator Facility (LEAF) to rapidly generate excited or charged states for study by transient absorption in the UV/Vis, IR and microwave regions. These studies will give information about kinetics and thermodynamics of electron/electron/proton transfer reactions, charge mobilities, radical reactivity, molar absorptivity spectra, and more.

This position is for a 2-year term.
