Three year appointment as a postdoctoral fellow working on DNP and SSNMR
Description
Profs. Lauren Marbella (chemical engineering) and Ann McDermott (chemistry) are seeking candidates for a jointly-advised postdoctoral research scientist position at Columbia University. Successful candidates will have extensive experience in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and ideally dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) or hyperpolarization strategies. The postdoctoral research scientist will focus on materials science, biomaterials and biophysics, and the characterization electrochemical interfaces, working with a newly acquired multinuclear (including low gamma) DNP NMR, in addition to a suite of solid-state NMR spectrometers at Columbia University and the New York Structural Biology Center. The postdoctoral research scientist will be involved in a highly interdisciplinary environment and will be expected to interface with both groups as well as be involved in the collaborative environment present in the New York City NMR and materials science communities.
Qualifications
Minimum Degree Required: PhD in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering or related disciplines
Minimum Qualifications: Successful candidates will have a strong track record of important contributions to solid-state DNP or NMR as evidenced by their publication record and/or research statement.
Preferred Qualifications: Experience in DNP NMR experimentation and familiarity with DNP NMR hardware. Candidates with a proven track record in teaching and mentoring will be given preference. We are especially interested in candidates who, through their research, teaching, outreach or service, will contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. Columbia University and the Schools of Engineering and Applied Science and Arts & Sciences are committed to fostering an inclusive environment.
Application Instructions The position is a three-year appointment with a competitive starting salary at ~$70,000 per year with additional funding for travel, outreach, and professional development. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents who will have completed their terminal degree no later than 5 years prior to the start date. Applicants must have received their terminal degree from an institution other than Columbia University.
Documents Needed to Apply:
- Cover letter
- Curriculum vitae
- Research statement highlighting the candidate’s most important contributions to the field (1 page maximum)
- Diversity statement
- Three letters of recommendation
Review Begins: January 10, 2022
