Job description:

You will join the collaborative research center (CRC) 1527 High performance compact magnetic resonance (HyPERiON), which aims to change the future of magnetic resonance (MR) by exploring the limits of extremely compact, highly sensitive, high throughput, and highly agile MR systems.

For this position you will explore and develop the chemistries needed to functionalize solid phase materials used in separation processes. You will have the following tasks:

• Stationary phase chemical modification: identify a class of stationary phases capable of coupling chemistries targeting small molecules compatible with NMR signal enhancement strategies.
• Characterization of the coupling yield, distribution, and resulting impact on separation performance.
• Characterization of resulting NMR signal enhancement when using the modified stationary phases.
• Explore the potential for measurement parallelization taking advantage of the compact system.
• Publishing research findings in high-impact scientific journals and presenting results at international conferences.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
