Post-doctoral Position in NMR at KU Leuven, Belgium

Post-doctoral Position in Low-field NMR Developments at KU Leuven, Belgium

We are seeking talented post-doctoral candidates to join the NMR Laboratory at KU Leuven, Belgium. This exciting project, fully funded by EOS (https://www.eosprogramme.be), focuses on advancing methodologies and instrumentation for low magnetic field NMR. You will work closely with world-class experts in chemistry, materials science, and rheology to develop novel hardware and methodologies for low-field spectrometers, with a particular emphasis on studying polymers, porous media during sorption and rheology measurements.

Position Overview

As a post-doctoral researcher, you will:

  • Contribute to the design and use of innovative hardware on low-field NMR spectrometers.
  • Conduct research that bridges the fields of magnetic resonance, materials science, and rheology.
  • Work in a collaborative and interdisciplinary environment alongside leading experts.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for candidates with a strong background in:

  • Low-field magnetic resonance applications, such as pulse sequence development, relaxation signal processing, or related areas.
  • Magnetic resonance hardware development, including radio-frequency probes, rf-amplifiers, or other relevant technologies.
  • Experience in experimental physics, engineering, or material science is highly desirable.
  • Practical skills in electronics and familiarity with materials science will be considered an advantage.

Why Join Us?

  • Funding: Initial funding is available for at least one year, with opportunities for extension based on performance.
  • Competitive Salary: Salary will be commensurate with experience.
  • World-class Environment: Our NMR laboratory (http://sakellariou.org) is part of the Center for Membrane Separations, Adsorption, Catalysis, and Spectroscopy for Sustainable Solutions (CMACS)(https://www.biw.kuleuven.be/m2s/cmacs), offering a stimulating research environment. Our campus, located 20km from Brussels, is at the heart of a vibrant scientific community.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should send:

  • A full CV.
  • A cover letter including two references.
