We are pleased to announce an opening for a position of an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland. The position is offered within an interdisciplinary project entitled Zero- and Ultra-Low-Field (ZULF) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance realized within the European Union Innovative Training Network. The project is dedicated to training young researchers capable of addressing the foreseen challenges in NMR, particularly under the conditions of ultra-low or truly zero magnetic fields.
The advertised position is aimed at the development of a portable ZULF NMR spectrometer. The research includes development of new type of optical magnetometer dedicated to measurement of ZULF NMR, implementation in hyperpolarization techniques in ZULF NMR, and development of multi-dimensional pulse sequence. Under this respect the position is offered to strongly experimentally biased candidates.

The position funding is available for three years of full-time employment as research staff at standard ITN rates, including a mobility allowance for relocation, and a family allowance for those candidates that have families at the time of recruitment. The employment is combined with participation in an enhanced PhD programme unavailable at any university course that includes secondments at the University of Cambridge (prof. Lynn Gladden) and the University of York (prof. Simon Duckett).

Applicants fulfilling the eligibility criteria should provide their academic resume, reference letter from 2 academics/NMR professionals, and a cover letter to prof. Szymon Pustelny at pustelny@uj.edu.pl.

In addition to applying to us, be sure to also send your CV and cover letter to office@zulf.eu.
 

To be eligible, a candidate needs to fulfil the following criteria:

Early Stage Researcher – a person in the first four years of research career (pure research, not other experience e.g. technical staff) without PhD.

Mobility rule – employment in an institution located in a country wherein a candidate work or study less than 12 months between October 1st, 2015 and September 30th, 2018.

Chosen candidate will be required to enroll into the Jagiellonian University PhD program. Detailed enrolment requirements are available at the Jagiellonian University webpage. Some crucial elements:

A master’s degree.

Fluency in English.

Participation in an interview process (online interview is possible).

The selection process will be carried out as outlined in the https://euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/charter/code.
