Postdoctoral position at New York University (NMR, MRI, magnetometry, spin physics, battery research) Department of Chemistry

Applications are solicited for an individual to be appointed as an
postdoctoral 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 and
electrochemical devices.
• Study of nuclear spin singlet state life times and singlet relaxation
mechanisms, 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 simulations

There is no requirement to master all areas, but depth in two or more areas will enable a good integration with several projects.
