The Division of Materials Science and Engineering at Ames Laboratory, a Department of Energy National Laboratory affiliated with Iowa State University, is searching for a qualified Postdoctoral Research Associate.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work in the research group of Professor Aaron Rossini. Their primary responsibility will be to perform solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance experiments on materials such as semiconductor nanoparticles and emerging 2D semiconductors. The Postdoctoral Associate will also develop NMR methods that exploit fast MAS and indirect detection and DNP for the detection of unreceptive and exotic nuclei found in materials. The lab is equipped with fast magic angle spinning probes equipped on 9.4 T and 14.1 T spectrometers and a 263 GHz/400 MHz Bruker DNP spectrometer. This Postdoctoral Research Associate is a one-year appointment with opportunity for renewal based on funding and performance. The application can be completed at the website:
The search closes on May 31, 2021. Interested candidates should include a CV that detail their past research experience and provide the contact information for at least 2 people who could provide reference letters.
For more detailed information please contact Dr. Rossini directly:
