*Post-doctoral position in the multidisciplinary Ultrasense NMR project:
Development of para-hydrogen induced hyperpolarization **instrumentation and methodology for screening, biomarker research and/or molecular diagnostics.***
**UltraSense NMR is a large research and development programme (11 PhD and post-docs), granted by EFRO (EU) and GO, in cooperation between science and business. The project will be run by a consortium between Radboud University Nijmegen: Institute of Molecules and Materials, UMC St. Radboud, University of Twente and 3 knowledge companies: Future Chemistry, Spinnovation Analytical and NovioGendix. Goal of the project is to develop hyperpolarisation equipment and strategies based on both physical (DNP) and chemical principles, i.e. para-hydrogen induced hyperpolarisation (PHIP). With the ultrasensitive microfluidic and continuous flow technology and equipment, we will be developing new diagnostic services and a molecular diagnostic test for prostate cancer. In this research programme, multi-disciplined researchers (11 PhDs and post-docs), familiar with the field of physics, chemistry, biophysics, metabolic profiling, or molecular diagnostics will be working closely together in a development team responsible for generating diagnostic technologies of the future. For the above mentioned developments we are looking for enthusiastic PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who like to be part of a multidisciplinary team in an internationally oriented environment.
**Job Description:* *In the present advertisement we are looking specifically for a post-doctoral researcher in the area of para-hydrogen induced hyperpolarisation (PHIP). The position aims specifically for development of the PHIP methodology and instrumentation for screening, biomarker research and/or molecular diagnostics.
Requirements:* *The post-doc (initially 2 yrs; extension is possible) should have a background in (Physical) Chemistry and/or Analytical Sciences with knowledge of MR spectroscopy (e.g. NMR or MRI) and an interest in methodological development and instrumentation. Expertise in para-hydrogen based NMR technology is an asset.
