I am writing to let you know about a position we have recently posted for a one-year, Visiting Assistant Professor position at Carleton College for 2023–2024. We believe this position can be excellent preparation for chemists who are interested in a career focused on teaching and research in an undergraduate environment, and Carleton provides a variety of mentoring and professional development resources for all faculty, including those in visiting positions. 

Given your position as department chair, I am hoping you might know current/recent grad students and postdocs who could be a good fit for this position. If so, would you mind forwarding this email to them and/or to colleagues who may be able to spread the word?

Please feel free to email me or put students/postdocs in touch with me if they have any questions, and thanks for your consideration!

Best,

Matt Whited

You must be enrolled in a university program working towards a PhD degree.

***Internships can vary in time and depend on the availability of the student***

The post-doctoral R&D chemist position is in HP’s imaging and printing business in our Corvallis, Oregon facility.  The work will be focused on development of new ink formulations through a combination of empirical design and modeling methods.

Our group is responsible for the design and formulation of inkjet printing inks including the characterization of the print attributes and robustness.  The project will focus on developing components that expand various ink attributes such as optical density and durability on different media.  The project will also involve optimizing the new inks for drop formation and the printing process.  Part of the role is to collaborate with the printer component designers to implement system level changes to balance tradeoffs in the various components.

Aspects of the role include:

  • Component development
  • Formulation design (includes design for performance, manufacturing and chemical regulatory guidelines)
  • Print system characterization
  • Cross-functional/pan global team participation and leadership
  • External supplier material co-development and manufacturing

Our group is part of a chemistry center of excellence that develops inks for the different print businesses. While we work across several sites, this project will partner primarily with colleagues in our Corvallis, Oregon location.  The Corvallis site includes a combination of F&D and manufacturing facilities with work ranging from MEMS fabs to large industrial printing presses.

Qualifications

  • A recent (<1 year) Ph. D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, or related field
  • Understanding of fundamental chemical mechanisms.  Key areas include
    • Pigment and dye chemistry
    • Polymers in solution
    • Organic and inorganic nanoparticle suspensions
    • Interfacial and surface chemistry
    • Proficiency in appropriate analytical instruments and the data interpretation

My colleagues Tanya Myers and Alla Zelenyuk here at PNNL wanted to reach out to you all to see whether you might be aware of any recent or soon-to-be PhD grads who would be eligible for this posting to work with us here at PNNL doing some pretty cool science on an upcoming IARPA project.  

https://careers.pnnl.gov/jobs/5561?lang=en-us

The posting closes on Nov 9:  We are looking for someone with background in mass spec and/or IR spectroscopy to study aerosols using state-of-the-art instrumentation in both mass spec and IR spectroscopy, as well as working with many top-notch scientists in the field.  The position will likely result in several publications.  However, the position requires US Citizenship, which is a firm requirement.    

Please share this job ad with folks you know who might be eligible, or if you’re aware of any useful job ad where we should post this, that’d be helpful as well.   

Thanks so much!
