Postdoctoral position at New York University (NMR, MRI, magnetometry, spin physics, battery research) Department of ChemistryApplications are solicited for an individual to be appointed as anpostdoctoral associate under the supervision of Alexej Jerschow. The research will include one or both of these research areas:• In-situ and operando NMR/MRI and magnetometry of batteries andelectrochemical devices.• Study of nuclear spin singlet state life times and singlet relaxationmechanisms, the development of efficient singlet/triplet conversion pulse sequences and methodology, as well as para-hydrogen induced polarization (PHIP).Successful applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in a related field. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in two or more of these areas:• NMR or MRI• Spin dynamics simulations• Machine learning and image processing• Hardware/microcontroller/data acquisition set up / programming /operation• Magnetometry• Electrochemistry• Molecular dynamics or ab initio simulationsThere is no requirement to master all areas, but depth in two or more areas will enable a good integration with several projects.Some relevant publications:• PCCP 2020, 22, 9703-9712,https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2020/cp/d0cp00935k.• Chem Mat 2020, 32, 5, 2107-2113https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.9b05246.• PNAS, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1917172117.• JMR 319, 106811, 2020,https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090780720301294.• Sci.
