CSIRO Division of Wool Technology is looking to appoint 3 postdocs early in the New
Year. Unfortunately the advertisement which was recently issued in the press for these
positions did not include the area of wool photochemistry / photobiology, specifically a
project aimed at developing light-stable fluorescent whitening agents for wool. However I
have been encouraged to recommend to appropriately qualified candidates that they apply.
The trouble is that I don't know any - I was hoping that the advertisement might attract
them. If anyone is interested in finding out what is involved in the project, or knows any
colleagues, particularly graduate photochemists / photobiologists, who might be
interested, I would be very interested to hear from them and I can supply details of how
to apply. THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE DECEMBER 24TH. The following describes the probable
research background of potential candidates. >>>> > The Division is seeking

message on to anyone who might be interested or who might know of somebody who is. Cheers,
