Hello
We have two post-doc positions available in the Chemistry Departments NMR
Core at UNC Chapel Hill.
Please share far and wide.
Thanks!
Marc
New position postings- Magnetic Resonance Post-doctoral scholars in the NMR
Core Laboratory
Position Summary:
The Magnetic Resonance Post-Doctoral Scholar in the NMR Core laboratory at
UNC Department of Chemistry plays a key role in implementing and expanding
the use of NMR and EPR spectroscopy in the Core. This individual will
collaborate with faculty, post-docs and students in magnetic resonance as
well as train users and assist with the maintenance of instrumentation. The
position is designed to enhance and develop managerial skills while expanding
technical expertise in magnetic resonance.
The research role (50%) includes a heavy emphasis on developing standard and
advanced operating procedures in NMR and/or EPR spectroscopy and sharing
capabilities with students and researchers. Training, seminars and advanced
training workshops are expected along with simulations and direct consultation
and collaboration with research groups. Applications include variable temperature,
time resolved experiments and the monitoring of light induced chemistry. Additional
applications are possible along with seeking funding for new equipment.
The laboratory management role (50%) involves working with the laboratory team to
maintain a readily accessible and reliable collection of instrumentation for the
acquisition of EPR and NMR data. This includes coordinating with core staff to
support high throughput runs using the sample changers on NMR spectrometers,
general maintenance of EPR and NMR spectrometers and associated magnets, diagnosing
instrument issues and assisting and training users in both EPR and NMR spectroscopy.
Additional experience in managing a major magnetic resonance laboratory is possible,
consistent with abilities.
Principal Functions:
1. Research (50% effort): promote the use of NMR and/or EPR spectroscopy including
but not limited to variable temperature and time resolved experiments through
hardware, software and procedure development. The individual will work with
students to adapt NMR and/or EPR to their research needs and collaborate with
researchers.
2. Laboratory Management (50% effort) : work with the staff in the core to
support EPR and NMR applications. Instrument maintenance including: cryogen
fills, sample changers, NMR probes and EPR resonators. Software support for
EPR simulations and NMR spectroscopy. Supporting helium recovery, training,
and general lab support are expected.
Qualification & Experience Requirements:
The Magnetic Resonance Post-Doctoral Scholar will have the following essential
competencies.
* 2 years' experience with NMR and/or EPR instrumentation and spectroscopy
via hands-on experimentation and calculation and simulation spectra.
* Familiarity with super conducting magnets. Knowledge of cryogen fills is
a plus.
* Demonstrated ability to work with a high level of independence, to design
and troubleshoot new experiments, to solve experimental problems independently,
and to be able to relate work to the larger big-picture laboratory context.
* Ability to interact constructively with diverse individuals
