Postdoctoral Research Associate in Hyperpolarization Development

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Hyperpolarization Development

University of York

York, United Kingdom

Role

The MAGNIFY project aims to revolutionize analytical capabilities by significantly improving NMR's ability to analyse materials. While parahydrogen has been highly successful in enhancing NMR signals through processes like Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange (SABRE), its inherent reactivity limits broader application. We are developing a groundbreaking approach: the "magnetization battery."

You will join our team at the forefront of NMR enhancement, where we're creating stable materials designed to store hyperpolarisation from parahydrogen, much like a battery stores charge. This programme uniquely links advanced NMR theory with innovative sample handling instrumentation to enable optimal magnetisation transfer between species. The successful candidates will thrive as part of a collaborative team, assisting with the supervision of other researchers in the group.

Skills, Experience & Qualification needed

You will:

• have an undergraduate degree and PhD in chemistry with knowledge of instrument design and a strong background in NMR theory and ability to apply it to hyperpolarisation or equivalent experience
• be skilled in Magnetic Resonance and data collection and have experience working with chemical systems
• have highly developed communication skills to engage effectively with a wide ranging audience, both orally and in writing; demonstrated ability to write up research work for publication; ability to work as part of a team and also to work independently using own initiative; ability to develop research objectives, projects and proposals for own and joint research
