## Photochemistry postdoc opportunity in Australia From: keith.millington@dwt.csiro.au Date: 12/16/97 Time: 7:11:08 AM Remote Name: 138.194.192.44 ### Comments 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 a Post Doctoral Fellow to work on a project > aimed at developing photostable fluorescent whitening agents for wool > and other proteinaceous fibres. We are looking for a person with a > relevant Ph.D and proven research achievements in organic > photochemistry or photobiology. You will have developed a good > understanding of photochemical mechanisms and have experience with > standard photochemical laboratory techniques. Experience with organic > synthetic procedures, particularly involving free radicals, would be > desirable. Practical experience of electron spin resonance > spectroscopy would be very useful. Effective oral and written > communication skills are essential. > Your duties will also involve assessment of the commercial viability > of potential treatments in laboratory and industrial-scale trials. Permanent Australian residency status would be an advantage. > <<<< Please pass this message on to anyone who might be interested or who might know of somebody who is.
