The appointee will be part of the facility management team (FMT) of the EPSRC and BBSRC-funded High-Field NMR National Research Facility (NRF) and provide support for NRF users to perform experiments and interpret the results. The primary responsibilities of this development role are to assist life science and/ or material science and/ or chemistry users with no or limited previous experience in solid-state NMR. It is expected that you will co-author publications with NRF users. You will also interact with the NRF’s Facility Executive (9 solid-state NMR spectroscopist Principal Investigators (PIs) from 6 UK Universities) and Oversight Committee, as well as with spectrometer and probe manufacturers.
About You
You should hold, or be about to attain, a PhD in solid-state NMR as applied to the life sciences and/ or materials science and/ or chemistry. Be enthusiastic about the capabilities of solid-state NMR to answer questions relating to structure and dynamics at the atomic level in research fields such as protein interactions, plant cell walls, biopolymers, energy materials or sustainable materials.
For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.
If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure.
