Applications are invited for a Research Associate position in Magnetic Resonance to work in the group of Dr Meghan Halse in the Department of Chemistry. This fixed-term position (up to 36 months) is part of the Hyperpolarised NMR Solutions beyond the Laboratory (HyperSoL) project, funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through the Frontier Research Guarantee scheme. The goal of the HyperSoL project is to develop portable NMR technologies that exploit the signal amplification potential of parahydrogen hyperpolarisation to enable analytical applications beyond the typical laboratory environment. The Research Associate will have particular responsibility for the development of novel hyperpolarisation experiments and for improving our understanding of the hyperpolarisation process through the development and application of NMR theory and numerical simulations. The successful candidate will work as part of a team led by Dr Meghan Halse and will be expected to assist with the supervision of more junior group members.
This position would suit a candidate with a strong foundation in the theory of magnetic resonance, including experience of first-principles calculations and numerical simulations, and knowledge and understanding of NMR pulse sequence design. Experience in either hyperpolarisation methods and/or low-field NMR is an asset but not a requirement.
