Research Associate in Hyperpolarised Portable NMR Spectroscopy

University of York - Department of Chemistry

Location: York
Salary: £36,024 to £44,263 per year (reduced pro-rata for part time working).
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 4th October 2024
Closes: 18th October 2024
Job Ref: 13631

Role Description
Applications are invited for a Research Associate position in Magnetic Resonance to work in the group of Dr Meghan Halse in the Department of Chemistry. This fixed-term position (up to 36 months) is part of the Hyperpolarised NMR Solutions beyond the Laboratory (HyperSoL) project, funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Frontier Research Guarantee scheme. The goal of the HyperSoL project is to develop portable NMR technologies that exploit the signal amplification potential of parahydrogen hyperpolarisation to enable analytical applications beyond the typical laboratory environment. The Research Associate will have particular responsibility for the development of novel hyperpolarisation experiments and for improving our understanding of the hyperpolarisation process through the development and application of NMR theory and numerical simulations. The successful candidate will work as part of a team led by Dr Meghan Halse and will be expected to assist with the supervision of more junior group members.

This position would suit a candidate with a strong foundation in the theory of magnetic resonance, including experience of first-principles calculations and numerical simulations, and knowledge and understanding of NMR pulse sequence design. Experience in either hyperpolarisation methods and/or low-field NMR is an asset but not a requirement.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed

  • Undergraduate degree and PhD (or relevant experience) in Chemistry, Physics, Engineering or related area.
  • Knowledge of magnetic resonance theory and simulations to engage in high quality research.
  • Skills in the development and application of Magnetic Resonance simulations.
  • Experience of conducting Magnetic Resonance experiments, ideally with experience of implementing and optimising new experiments.
  • Highly developed communication skills to engage effectively with a wide ranging audience, both orally and in writing; demonstrated ability to write up research work for publication; ability to work as part of a team and also to work independently using own initiative; ability to develop research objectives, projects and proposals for own and joint research.

Interview date: To be confirmed.
