Post-doctoral position in High-Pressure Solid-State NMR at NYU Abu Dhabi
The Division of Science at New York University Abu Dhabi is inviting applications for a fully-funded postdoctoral associate position in the area of High-Pressure Solid-State NMR in the group of Dr Maria Baias (http://nyuad.nyu.edu/en/
The research project involves the development of new instrumentation for performing solid-state NMR experiments at high pressures with the purpose of studying high-pressure induced phase transitions in materials. The successful candidate will focus on designing an instrumental set-up that allows for performing solid-state NMR experiments under magic angle spinning, implementing the design into the experimental setup and applying it to study different materials under high pressures.
Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in Physics, Chemistry, or a related field and must have strong experience in experimental solid-state NMR and the electronics associated with NMR. Expertise in materials science is desired. Excellent communication skills in English, ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and scientific creativity are essential.
Applications will be accepted immediately. To be considered, all applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list and three representative publications, all in PDF format. To complete the online process, applicants will be prompted to enter the names and email addresses of at least three referees. Each referee will be contacted to upload their reference letter.
