Scientific Research at Boston College invites applications to join our team
supporting the AFRL plasma chemistry group in Albuquerque, NM.  The successful candidate will contribute to
ongoing laboratory efforts preparing for sounding rocket and satellite flight
experiments to study the ionospheric effects of chemical releases.  Duties
will include conducting laboratory-scale experiments for characterization of
chemical release candidate materials via optical and mass spectrometric
methods, analyzing data from such experiments, and developing and validating
thermodynamic and heat transfer models to describe the vaporization of the
active materials.  While familiarity with ionospheric chemistry is ideal,
it is not required.  More importantly, the position requires strong
laboratory, data analysis, and modeling skills and the agility to learn and
apply new concepts when needed.   The researcher will work closely
with current government and contractor personnel to become familiarized with
efforts to date.  </span></p>
