Post-doctoral research position in solid-state NMR of polymers at the University of California, Santa Barbara

We have an immediate opening for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher on a project aimed at analyzing the molecular-level compositions, structures, dynamics, and properties of polymers by using solid-state NMR. The project is supported by and will be carried out in collaboration with industrial scientific partners. It will take advantage of high-field multidimensional 13C{1H} and 1H{1H}, low-field 1H, and 15N{1H} DNP MAS solid-state NMR techniques and instrumentation that are available in the Shared Facilities of the Materials Research Laboratory at UCSB. Complementary X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and other materials characterization capabilities are also available to support the project’s objectives. Strong expertise in solid-state NMR techniques is essential, and familiarity with their applications to polymers and complementary characterization tools are desirable. The scientific environment at UCSB is highly collaborative and offers exceptional opportunities for interactions with other research groups in magnetic resonance and across allied disciplines of physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, and engineering.

Interested applicants should please send a current CV, a cover letter that highlights your scientific and technical skills, experience, and interests, along with contact information for academic references to Professor Brad Chmelka at bradc@ucsb.edu in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
