Postdoctoral Research Fellow DNP NMR

Research Fellow in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Technology University of Nottingham, UK School of Physics & Astronomy Applications are invited for the above post based in the Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre which is part of the School of Physics and Astronomy. The successful candidate will lead an ambitious hardware development project that focuses on the the design and implementation of a novel spectrometer for dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) enhanced NMR spectroscopy. The project involves extensive industrial collaboration and is funded by the Novel Technology Initiative in Cross-disciplinary Sciences of the EPSRC. The project covers the whole field of DNP research, including the testing of novel radicals, theoretical spin dynamics calculations and the design and construction of novel hardware. Candidates should have a PhD in physics, physical chemistry or a related discipline and preferably have experience in one or several of the following fields: Microwave technology, Cryotechnology, Magnetic Resonance hardware technology, Laser Optics. Additional expertise in NMR theory or practical experience with dynamic nuclear polarisation would be beneficial but not essential. Candidates should have good communication skills and enjoy working with a variety of different people across discipline boundaries. This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of three years. Salary will be £27,319 - £31,671 per annum, depending on skills and experience.
