Postdoctoral Position
129Xe Optical Pumping and Solid-State NMR
An opening for a postdoctoral scientist is available in Dr. Daniel Raftery's
laboratory in the Chemistry Department at Purdue University.
The work will primarily concern the development of the hyperpolarized xenon
NMR technique.  A primary focus of the work will be to study the surfaces of
polycrystalline and single crystal materials.  Our group has developed
methods to combine xenon optical pumping with magic angle spinning, which is
advantageous for a variety of surface NMR studies.  This technique is being
applied to study novel or advanced materials with important surface
properties.  We are also currently investigating and optimizing a number of
approaches for polarization transfer mechanisms, which allow for large
enhancements in the NMR signal of surface nuclei and for selective
enhancement of surface species.  Solid-state NMR instrumentation available
include a Chemagnetics Infinity 400, Varian Inova 300 and
Chemagnetics/Tecmag 200 MHz spectrometers.
The position requires strong NMR skills and an ability to work with graduate
students.   Familiarity with NMR instrumentation and/or surface chemistry is
considered a plus.  The postdoctoral scientist will also have considerable
freedom to explore a number of other experiments in the lab that are of
mutual interest.
Interested applicants should send a CV and a cover letter that includes a
short statement of research interests.  Applicants should also arrange for
two letters of recommendation to be sent as soon as possible.  The position
is available now for one year, with a second year available by mutual
consent.  Applicants should feel free to contact me directly by mail, e-mail
(raftery_at_purdue.edu) or phone (765-494-6070).
