There is a postdoctoral opening in my lab, which will involve functionalizing and characterizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs).  Functionalizations will include attaching groups to SWCNTs covalently and by complexation.  The characterization includes those techniques typically used in organic chemistry (such as NMR, IR, UV, etc) and others (such as Raman, TEM, etc.).

The position is currently available, so I will be more interested in potential candidates who are located in the US.

Please forward this to potential candidates who you think might be interested.

Thanks in advance!
