Recent chemistry graduates and candidates with relevant industry experience preferred. Strong writing, communication, organization, and computer skills required. FRL02 the Chemistry Department of Ford Research Laboratory has an opening for an engineer or scientist who is interested in research on environmental issues facing the automotive industry. The research will involve various microbiological issues on wastewater treatment, contaminated-site remediation, and manufacturing processes. Specific topics include the biological treatment of paint emissions and oily wastewater, the bioremediation of soil contaminated with hydraulic fluids, the biodeterioration of manufacturing materials, and health and ecological effects of manufacturing emissions.
Opportunities exist for conducting both laboratory and field research.
A facility is also available for conducting both basic and applied microbiological research. Seeks applicants for a tenure-track inorganic chemist position with materials science experience preferred. Invites applications for a visiting faculty member in August of 1998 for a temporary position with the opportunity to collaborate with department research groups. The successful candidate will be working with Dr. Michel Costes and Prof. Christian Naulin on neutral-neutral reactions that might be important in the chemistry of interstellar clouds. Experiments will be conducted on a recently developed crossed-molecular beam apparatus, which allows for scanning the relative translational energy of reactants down to values relevant to the conditions of the interstellar medium.
