 Remuneration

according to the Rules for Remunerating Jagiellonian University Employees

Requirements

• holding at least a doctoral degree in chemistry or physics in the field of NMR spectroscopy,
• at least 36 months of relevant experience in the role of working in NMR laboratory with a special emphasis given to solid-state measurements,
• skills:
  • independence in performing NMR experiments in solid-state and in solution,
  • preparation of samples for measurements in NMR solid-state and in solution,
• theoretical knowledge in NMR techniques necessary for interpretation of the results obtained in solid-state and solution measurements,
• practical knowledge in construction of NMR spectrometers,
• practical knowledge on the software for measurement, processing and editing NMR data,
• work with standard office software,
• accuracy and precision,
• communicativeness,

• experience in work with high-field NMR magnets (400 MHz, 500 MHz, 600 MHz),
• experience in setting-up new pulse sequences,
• experience in pulse calibration and shim correction,
• experience in running multidimensional measurements (two- and three-) in solid-state and solution,
• experience in running various-temperature (VT) experiments,
• practical knowledge and experience in working with one of the systems (Bruker or Jeol) available in the lab,
• practical knowledge and experience in working with the second operating system will be an advantage,
• a mind open for discussion on scientific problems faced by members of departmental community.

Project Title

Flagship project ‘Materials Research Hub’ within the "Excellence Initiative - Research University" programme at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow

Project description

Project ‘Materials Research Hub’ as a mail goal puts formation of three new research laboratories for advanced spectroscopic analysis of organic, inorganic and hybrid materials including surfaces, interphase and thin layers. All three laboratories secure a broad access to unique analytical tools dedicated to advanced spectroscopic mapping of the material composition and its chemical reactivity including in-situ and operando measurements with application of a broad irradiation range (from radio frequency through IR, UV-Vis up-to X-Ray) based on laboratory sources but also with involvement of synchrotron.

Scope of duties

• day-by-day work in NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) lab,
• performing all NMR experiments for solid-state and liquid samples,
• maintaining all the equipment in technical conditions allowing regular scientific work,
• refilling cryogenic liquids (liquid nitrogen, liquid helium),
• establishing and correction of pulses and shims crucial for performed measurements,
• work with the queuing system introduction of new experiments for the lab offer,
• advice for the scientific community with respect to performing experiments and help in solving scientific problems,
• help in interpretation and analysis of results.

We offer

• stable employment based on an employment contract at the  renowned university,
• cooperation with the interdisciplinary academic community represented by well-known scientists,
• scientific support as well as the possibility of qualifications improvement and professional development,
• access to research infrastructure,
• benefits in the form of i.a. Multisport card, sports activities, medical packages, group insurance,
• additional social benefits.
