Beschreibung
PhD Position in Solid-State NMR
100%, Zurich, fixed-term
print DruckenThesolid-state NMR research group in the Departement of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences is looking for a PhD student on the topic of pulse-sequence optimization based on effective Hamiltonians. We are a small team working on theoretical aspects and methodological developments in solid-state NMR. Our work is mostly geared towards applications in biomolecular NMR trying to improve the understanding of pulse sequences and implementing new experiments.
Project background
Solid-state NMR is an important analytical technique to characterize structure and dynamics of biomolecules and materials. So far, pulse sequences have been implemented mostly based on analytical calculations of the spin dynamics. Based on recent theoretical developments in our group (publication 1, publication 2), we plan to use numerical optimization of effective Hamiltonians to generate new and more efficient pulse sequences in a way similar to the analytical approach used so far.
Job description
The PhD will focus on implementing numerical optimization strategies to design pulse sequences for high-resolution solid-state NMR under magic-angle spinning. The efficiency of such pulse-sequence elements is key for improving the sensitivity of NMR experiments. To obtain the best performance not only parameters of the spin systems but also experimental imperfections of the spectrometers have to be included in the modelling of the experiment. Such an approach will require:
The output of the PhD will be new pulse-sequence elements that can be used in applications of NMR in biological systems and material science.
Your profile
We are looking for a highly-motivated student who is interested in working on the intersection between Chemistry and Physics in a small interdisciplinary team. The position will require independence, perseverance and the willingness to acquaint yourself with new topics and methods.
