Tenure-track Staff Scientist in the field of magnetic resonance

The Magnetic Resonance Lab headed by Prof. Lucio Frydman at the Weizmann Institute of Science, is looking for a Staff Scientist in the field of magnetic resonance at large, with an emphasis in conducting pioneering research in the development of new NMR and MRI methods. This is a tenure-track position oriented entirely towards academic activities, with no teaching or service mandates. Suitable candidates will be considered only if they have a proven ability to excel at scientific research.

The Frydman lab focuses on developing new technologies in solution and solid state NMR, in in vivo NMR and in NMR imaging, enabling new applications in materials, biophysics, biology and medicine. The candidate’s projects will eventually deal with all these topics, but will begin with research at the interface of biomolecular and in vivo NMR and MRI–including the development of new forms of enhancing MR’s sensitivity, including new pulse sequences, methods that exploit hyperpolarized spins, or pools of hyperpolarized / abundant spin reservoirs that can enhance the sensitivity of dilute analytes of interest via chemical exchanges. Further information on the Lab’s activities can be found at https://www.weizmann.ac.il/chembiophys/Frydman_group/. News about the group can also be found in Twitter (@lab_lucio) and LinkedIn.

Information about Weizmann’s Staff Scientist program can be found at https://www.weizmann.ac.il/Staff_Scientists/.

Candidates that fulfill some but not all of the above-mentioned requirements, will be considered at non-tenure-track entry levels including Senior Intern or Senior Postdoctoral Fellow positions. See https://www.weizmann.ac.il/acadaff/academic-positions for details on these programs.

Applicants to the Staff Scientist position must have a PhD in a topic related to magnetic resonance as well as suitable postdoctoral experience, with a proven track record evidencing an ability to change existing paradigms, and moving forward the experimental state-of-the-art. Skills that the candidate must evidence include:

• Proven ability to develop new NMR experiments, code new pulse sequences, or build the hardware needed to enhance NMR’s capabilities
• Skills in the development and coding of new simulation and data analysis pipelines
• Track record in collaborations and in the mentoring of students
• Capacity to oversee advanced NMR facilities and ensure their continued performance at state-of-the-art levels.
• Skills in the writing of grants and manuscripts
