Purdue University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
==========> Position I <==========
Title: NMR Instrumentation Scientist
Facility: Jonathan Amy Facility for Chemical Instrumentation
Supervisor: Dr. Robert E. Santini
Description: This person will be tasked to design, modify and
construct
electronic instrumentation. Initial assignments will be in the areas of
high resolution liquid and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Over time, the
successful candidate can expect assignments in areas (such as FT-MS
using
either Paul or Penning traps) where related technologies are applied.
He
or she will interact on a daily basis with faculty, professional staff,
technical staff and graduate students during the evolution of long-term
research projects.
This person will carry out development work with analog circuitry,
digital
circuitry and software modules. He or she will understand and use RF
techniques for high-power signal generation and transmission. This
person
will also understand and use low level signal processing techniques such
as
those encountered in an NMR spectrometer and other forms of modern
chemical
instrumentation. He or she will be able to characterize existing and
prototypical active and passive circuits in time and frequency domain.
He
or she must have hands on experience with a major aspect of experimental
NMR spectroscopy. The candidate must be well versed in the underlying
physical theory and practice of magnetic resonance. It is expected that
this candidate will be able to handle two or more non-routine projects
at
the same time. Lucid written and spoken communication skills in the
English language are a necessity.
Requirements: An advanced degree in a physical science (M.S. or Ph.D.)
or
equivalent experience in instrumentation and systems development is
favored. Formal training in Chemistry, Physics or Electrical
Engineering
is preferred. Candidates at another degree level (such as the B.S.)
will
be given consideration depending on their knowledge and verifiable
capabilities. People that have recently completed their graduate
education
will be considered if their graduate or post doctoral experience
included a
notable instrument development project.
Application Information: If you are interested in the NMR
Instrumentation
Scientist position, please send a resume including your salary needs and
the addresses and phone numbers of three references whom we may contact
to:
Dr. Robert E. Santini, Director of Instrumentation, using either email
[preferred] (santini@chem.purdue.edu) or U.S. mail (Department of
Chemistry, Purdue University, 1393 Brown Building, West Lafayette, IN
47907-1393). Applications received by Noon, 3 October 1997 will receive
preferential consideration.
==========> Position II <==========
Title: NMR Instrumentation Specialist
Facility: The Purdue Interdepartmental NMR Facility
Supervisor: Dr. Dean V. Carlson
Description: This position is primarily a troubleshooting and repair
position, although the candidate will also be responsible for
decommissioning and installing NMR systems as needed, and may assist
with
various NMR development projects. Responsibilities include maintenance,
troubleshooting, and repair of Varian, Bruker, and other NMR
spectrometers
and related equipment, as well as several other activities required for
the
support of a large NMR center. The position will also supervise one
technical staff member.
Requirements: A minimum of three years experience in NMR field service
or
NMR hardware repair is desired, but those with comparable skills
obtained
in engineering or military electronics programs may also be considered.
Experience with a modern NMR spectrometer, excellent oral and written
English communication skills, and familiarity with a modern computer
operating system and word processor are vital.
