Fermilab’s Theoretical Physics Department is inviting applications for one or more postdoctoral Research Associate positions in the area of theoretical quantum information science (QIS), working at its interface with High Energy Physics, quantum field theory, and fundamental physics. This position is for a three (3) year term. For the past few chapters, we have been studying electrostatic forces and fields, which are caused by electric charges at rest. These electric fields can move other free charges, such as producing a current in a circuit; however, the electrostatic forces and fields themselves come from other static charges. The book by Stephen Gasiorowicz, Quantum Physics, 3rd Edition (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ, 2003) includes free supplemental material on the Wiley website. Here, I provide Gasiorowicz's Supplement 8A, which provides some clever techniques for evaluating the expectation values 1/r n (n=1,2,3) with respect to the hydrogen atom radial.

Why UTSA?

As one of America’s top young universities, UTSA offers you the opportunity to create your bold future. Located in beautiful San Antonio, the seventh largest city in the U.S., see why we have a lot to be proud of as Roadrunners.

Background

Born and brought up in County Durham and educated at Shotton Hall Comprehensive School and Peterlee Tertiary College, I read for a DPhil in Physical Chemistry at Magdalen 1992-96 after a first degree in Physics and Chemistry at Leeds University. I worked as a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow in Boulder, Colorado with Professor David Nesbitt and then as a Ramsay Memorial Fellow back in Oxford. My first permanent academic job was at the University of Warwick (1999-2006) before I moved to Cambridge (2006-08). I finally returned to Magdalen as Tutorial Fellow in Physical and Theoretical Chemistry in 2008. I am now Professor of Chemistry and Head of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry in the department of Chemistry.

Teaching

All aspects of physical and theoretical chemistry.

Research Interests

I run a research group of about 10 people within the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory with research interests spanning gas-phase spectroscopy and dynamics and spin dynamics in protein systems. In particular, we use a combination of experimental and computational approaches to study the structure and chemical reactivity of isolated transition metal clusters as models of active sites on heterogeneous catalysts. In other projects we employ novel optical cavity-enhanced absorption techniques to study magnetic field effects in proteins – work driven by a desire to understand the way many animals, especially some migratory songbirds, sense the Earth’s magnetic field.
