CAMPUS SPECIFIC INFORMATION

The City College of New York (CCNY) is accepting applications for a university-funded Research Associate who will serve as a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Facility Manager atThe City University of New York’s City College (CUNY’s CCNY).The successful candidate will have primary responsibility for overseeing the operation of a 3-channel 600 MHz Bruker AVANCE NEO spectrometer equipped for solid-state NMR (1.6- mm and 3.2-mm MAS probes) and a broadband diffusion probe (5 mm, 17 T/m gradients), including applications to both natural biopolymer composites and engineered materials. In addition, the Manager will share secondary responsibility for a 300 MHz Bruker AVANCE Ill HD walk-up spectrometer with a broadband liquid-state NMR probe and a Quantum Technology helium recycling unit. The Manager will articulate collaboratively with faculty, postdoctoral scientists, Ph.D. research trainees, and undergraduate Honors students to facilitate cutting-edge research and promote interaction among groups that make intensive use of solid-state and biomolecular NMR. The successful candidate will assist in the maintenance and troubleshooting of NMR hardware and software, instrument scheduling, and the implementation and analysis of experiments conducted at CCNY, CUNY’s Advanced Science Research Center, and the adjoining New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC).

Qualifications for this position include a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related disciplines. A minimum of two (2) years of postdoctoral work experience with demonstrated research abilities is preferred. The successful candidate should have experience in one or more of the following areas: solid-state and/or biomolecular NMR applications, NMR instrumentation, and/or NMR facility management.
