Data Compression Conference 2010

Highlights:

1. DCC is held at the Cliff Lodge convention center in the beautiful Snowbird / Alta Ski areas; located a short ride from the Salt Lake City International Airport.

DCC 2010 March 24 to Friday March 26,

2. It is an international forum for current work on data compression and related applications.

3. The conference addresses not only compression methods for specific types of data (text, images, video, audio, medical, scientific, space, graphics, web content, etc.), but also the use of techniques from information theory and data compression in networking, communications, and storage applications involving large data sets (including image and information mining, retrieval, archiving, backup, communications, and HCI). Both theoretical and experimental work are of interest.

Postdoctoral Position in inorganic chemistry and Catalysis

Highlights:

1. The postdoctoral scholar will investigate the synthesis of new ligands and their metal complexes for olefin polymerization and copolymerization studies.

2. The primary focus of the postdoc will be ligand and organometallic synthesis, with the catalytic studies to be performed in collaboration with industrial partners. This is a unique opportunity to participate in an academic-industrial collaboration. The scholar will also have opportunities to participate in several other catalysis-related projects.

3. The term of the position is one year, with possibility of extension by mutual agreement. Starting date is as soon as possible, preferably September-October 2009.

4. A Ph.D. in Chemistry is a requirement, with strong experience in both organic and inorganic (including air-sensitive) synthesis desired. Experience in X-ray crystallography is a plus.

5. The OSU Chemistry Department has state-of-the-art, multi-instrument NMR and X-ray Diffraction facilities that are lightly used relative to many research departments. There is significant opportunity to gain increased expertise in X-ray crystallography in particular.

6. To apply: Please send a curriculum vitae with contact information for three references to Dr. LeGrande M. Slaughter, Department of Chemistry, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078.

Email applications preferred; send to lms@chem.okstate.edu .
