DNP MAS NMR Facility Manager, University of Nottingham, UK
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for the post of Facility Manager for the Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR Facility at the University of Nottingham. The Facility is operated jointly by the Schools of Chemistry, Life Sciences, and Physics and Astronomy and comprises a 600 MHz DNP MAS NMR spectrometer equipped with low-temperature triple- and double-resonance 3.2 mm MAS probes covering Larmor frequencies from 1H to 109Ag. More details can be found on the Facility’s webpage https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/dnpnmr/
The Facility Manager will be responsible for the operation of the Facility’s instrumentation, carrying out routine maintenance when necessary. The role involves making DNP MAS NMR measurements on behalf of internal and external collaborators and providing support, guidance and supervision for Facility users with all aspects of DNP MAS NMR. The Facility Manager will be expected to develop collaborations with Facility users and to assist them with grant applications. In addition, the role involves marketing the Facility, for example by maintaining the website, writing annual reports and attending conferences. There is also an opportunities for the Facility Manager to develop an individual programme of research in DNP MAS NMR.
Candidates preferably hold a relevant PhD (or be near completion) in physics, chemistry or life sciences (or a related subject). Candidates must have experience of developing and implementing a wide range of advanced solid-state NMR experiments and of applying solid-state NMR to materials or biological systems. In addition, experience in DNP NMR, in maintaining NMR instrumentation and in managing major research projects will be required. Candidates will need excellent communication skills and the ability to interact with researchers in other fields.
This full-time (36.25 Hour) post is available from Sept 2021, initially on a fixed term contact for 3 years. Job share arrangements may be considered.
