Dear Friends:
 
     I am looking for a career position related to any one of the
areas described below.  Alternatively, I would gratefully accept a
post doctoral position that would end in the fall of 1993. Currently,
I am an AWU postdoctoral fellow, stationed at the Idaho National
Engineering Laboratory.  My contributions to the Laboratory have
been divided between advances in theoretical chemistry and
applications to important problems in materials science.  In the
year and a half I have been here I have enjoyed using techniques
in electronic structure theory to study the phenomena of intercation,
surface ionization, chemisorption, and thin-film polymer processing.
Prior to coming here I completed my Ph. D. thesis under the advise of
Dr. Lawrence Lohr at the University of Michigan.  My time there was
divided between; 1) research for my dissertation (oxides of nitrogen,
phosphorus, and carbon; mostly NO3), 2) method and fortran code
development for a group of space physicists who are interested in the
concentration of selected excited state species of oxygen and nitrogen
in the F-region of Earth's atmosphere, and 3) teaching a number of
different courses, including one summer of lecturing at the University
of Michigan in Flint.
     I must say that I have truly enjoyed all of these roles, but now
I feel it is time for me to focus my career onto any one of these areas,
or onto a related area of specialization.  Below you will find a brief
synapses of my vita.  If you are interested in more detail on any of
these topics, please call or write and I will get this information to
you as soon as I can.  Lest it be overlooked let me also point out
that I have 15 years of experience in jobs not related to science, and
a year and half experience working in a synthetic-organic lab for
college credit.
