RESEARCH OFFICER (NMR Spectroscopy)
The Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre (SSSC) seeks applications from
qualified scientists to fill a staff position in nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
The SSSC an integrated multidisciplinary analytical facility located at
the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. The SSSC trains undergraduate
students, graduate students and other researchers in the operation of the
analytical instruments and provides users with access to more than twenty
major state of the art instruments. The Centre serves the University,
public sector and private industry researchers in basic sciences and
engineering, as well as fostering multidisciplinary collaborations in
diverse fields, ranging from agriculture, to health sciences and
engineering.
Duties: As a member of the SSSC research support team, the Research
Officer will be responsible for instructing researchers in advanced
techniques in NMR spectroscopy through the development of short courses,
tutorials and individual training sessions. The Officer will also be
responsible for implementing advanced methods and developing new methods
as required to meet the research objectives of users. The Officer will be
responsible for supervising users, implementing safety rules, helping
non-experts in the interpretation of NMR spectra, and the maintenance and
upgrading of the suite of NMR instruments. The Officer will provide
back-up support for the principal mass spectrometrist.
The NMR suite consists of two 500 MHz Bruker Avance NMR spectrometers and
one 500 MHz Bruker Avance III HD spectrometer that are equipped with an
array of probes that include a HR MAS, and a micro -solids probe, as well
as a liquid chromatograph. The NMR suite also includes a 600 MHz Bruker
Avance III HD NMR spectrometer with cryoprobe, microprobe and a broad band
room temperature probe. The Mass Spectrometry suite consists of a LC/MS/MS
(QToF), and GC-ToF. All NMR and MS instruments were upgraded or acquired
in 2014-15. An experienced NMR Spectroscopist and an experienced Mass
Spectrometrist are currently on staff.
Qualifications: A PhD in chemistry or related field with 5 years of
experience post PhD in advanced NMR is preferred. Additional experience
with LC/NMR and MS would be an asset. An equivalent combination of
education and experience would be considered.
