My job as the NMR and Mass Spec Facilities manager is currently open as I will be moving to New Zealand to take up a new position as the Manager of the NMR Facility at Callaghan Innovation. It is a really great job and Vancouver is a very beautiful city.
At SFU the NMR facilities are spread across three laboratories and there are two Bruker 600's (new multi-receiver AV III HD with QCIF cryoprobe and SampleJet, and AV II 600 with QNP cryoprobe and BACS 60, and equipped for HR-MAS). There is also another 600 MHz 5mm TCI cryoprobe, plus TXI and BBO probes. A multi-receiver 500 MHz Bruker AV III with several probes, BACS 60 and BCU-X), a multi-receiver AV III 400 with BBOF probe and BACS 60, and a Bruker AV III wide bore 400 multi-receiver system set up for solids, micro-imaging (using Paravision and 3 x 60 A gradient amps micro 2.5 imaging system), and even micro-imaging of rotating solids, plus liquids. The WB 400 system has a wide selection of MAS (2.5 HX, 4 mm HFX, 4 mm HFXY, 7 mm HXY, and micro imaging probes) .
The Mass spec facility has a Bruker MaXis II UHR QTOF, a Bruker microToF and a MALDI Biotyper.
Service support is also provided by a full-time NMR and a full-time MS technician and these instruments are used by researchers and students in the Chemistry, Biology, Molecular Biology and Biochemistry departments at SFU, other academic institutions and companies.
I encourage all Interested persons to read the job description online (see below) and apply.
