<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The Institute for Clean and Safe
Energy at the University of Utah ( <a href="http://www.ices.utah.edu/" target="_blank">http://www.ices.utah.edu/</a>
) anticipates the opening of a postdoctoral position starting August 2010. The
position is available to individuals with a strong quantitative background in
molecular sciences and an interest in computational modeling of nontraditional
energy sources. Specifically, the selected individual will work with an
interdisciplinary team of physicists, chemists, chemical engineers and
geologists to:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="square">
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif";">Establish a representative
three-dimensional models of the oil shale kerogen and sand tar asphaltenes
by performing three-dimensional optimizations of proposed two-dimensional
structures, calculating electron densities and frontier orbitals, swelling
properties and organic/inorganic matrix interactions.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif";">Use experimental data from
Utah oil sands and Green River oil shale to guide and validate the
structure/dynamics of the proposed models.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: "TimesNewRomanPSMT","serif";">Correlate computational
results with experimental data including data from solid and liquid state
13C NMR spectroscopy, CT imaging, TGA data on pyrolysis kinetics, small
angle x-ray scattering data, and ICR-mass spectroscopy on both the mineral
matter and kerogen samples.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Only candidates with a strong
computational chemistry background will be considered. Programming experience
is desirable but not necessary. The postdoctoral position is for one year with
second and third year renewal possible upon satisfactory performance and
funding availability. Interested candidates should send their applications,
including a complete CV, a letter of interest, and the names of three possible
references, electronically to:</p>
