Research Faculty I, 12 Month Salaried - Biological Solid-State NMR (National High Magnetic Field Laboratory)

Florida State University • Tallahassee, FL

39d

About The Position

The primary responsibilities are (i) developing independent and collaborative research program relating to solid-state NMR of biosolids and biological applications; (ii) pushing the frontiers of ultrahigh magnetic fields for biological solid-state NMR, as well as innovative NMR techniques and hardware like dynamic-nuclear polarization (DNP) and rf probes; and (iii) assisting in the management of the NHMFL's NMR User Program and Facility, which includes recruiting and collaborating with users. The Research Faculty will work with a team of engineers and scientists and be responsible for: (1) advancing a research program focused on high-field SSNMR techniques targeted for biological applications with both quadrupolar and spin-1/2 nuclei; (2) utilizing the high-field magnets at the NHMFL including the 1.5 GHz 36 T series-connected-hybrid (SCH) NMR, 600 MHz DNP systems for biosolids NMR user program, as well as future high-field instruments; (3) administering part of the NHMFL's NMR User Facility, which includes system management, maintenance, project initiation, planning, and execution with users; and (4) working with the Director of the NMR/MRI User Program on key research projects. This Research Faculty is expected to be a motivated researcher and team player with excellent communication skills, a collegial personality, and the vision to become a world-class researcher. The candidate will have support from a team of engineers and scientists and opportunities to collaborate with users from around the U.S. and international community, to apply for grants, to pursue individual research objectives, to publish their work, and to participate in national and international organizations and conferences.
