Status: Aktualne

DEAN OF THE FACULTY OF FOOD SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WARMIA AND MAZURY IN OLSZTYN opens a call for adjunct- POSTDOC position in a group of researchers in the Department of Physics and Biophysics within the project H2020-FETOPEN-2018-2020 / H2020-FETOPEN-2018-2019-2020-01 EXCELLENT SCIENCE - Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/899683 

Multiscale Dynamics with Ultrafast High-Resolution Relaxometry

HIRES-MULTIDYN

PERIOD: 13 months  (not longer than until 30.09.2025)

AMOUNT: 11666.00 PLN/month (gross/gross) 

APPLICATION DEADLINE:  12.08.2024 (23.59 CET) 

PLANNED STARTING DATE:  01.09.2024

KEYWORDS: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, spin relaxation, dynamics, condensed matter

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The project is devoted to a ground-breaking technology, called ultrafast high-resolution (UHRR) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxometry, providing deep insight into  dynamical processes  of complex, condensed matter  systems.   The technology enables probing dynamical processes on timescales ranging from picoseconds up to microseconds with atomic resolution. To fully profit from this concept, development of a theoretical framework including relaxation scenarios for composed systems is needed. The theoretical framework includes different relaxation pathways combined with models describing molecular motion. UHRR prototypes are meant to be exploited in a series of proof-of-concept applications covering a broad range of fields (drug design, food and health sciences, energy).

TASKS:

• Participation in developing models of spin relaxation (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance – NMR) in molecular and ionic condensed matter systems 
• Participation in numerical implementation of the relaxation models and their testing against experimental NMR relaxation data
• Participation in the preparation of research papers
• Presentation of scientific results at conferences 

REQUIREMENTS:

• Doctoral degree in physics, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, biotechnology or related sciences or the expected date of obtaining the doctoral degree before starting the employment
• Knowledge of English at a level that allows active participation in the research 
• Knowledge of the principles of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or other spectroscopic methods highly preferred 
• Programming expertise  preferred 
• Experience in investigating structural and dynamical properties of condensed matter systems preferred
