PhD Student (m/f/d) Chemical physics of nuclear spin hyperpolarized molecules

We are the Section Biomedical Imaging of the University Hospital Kiel and Kiel University (Germany). We are working on different imaging and hyperpolarization modalities under one roof. Our MR group covers all dominant hyperpolarization methods: Xenon, DNP, and parahydrogen. 

Start in our team

We are looking for professional and competent support to start as soon as possible, limited for 3 years.

What we offer:

• The salary will be based on the German E13 TV-L scale, if terms and conditions under collective bargaining law are fulfilled
• Part-time employment currently 25,75 hours/week
• A well-equipped lab near the Baltic Sea
• You can find more attractive UKSH benefits here: Benefits (uksh.de)

Your role:

• The project continues our preliminary studies (Peters et al., Sci Adv. 2023 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add3643 and Peters et al. preprint, 2024: https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-4668036/v1)
• The project's main task would be the study of nuclear spin relaxation of novel hyperpolarized with dDNP tracer
• We are interested in experimental or theoretical contributions (or both).

Your profile:

• The applicant must have a Master's degree (or similar) in physics, chemistry or engineering or related disciplines
• Knowledge in programming and labwork are advantageous

Please submit your application until the 28th of February, indicating the reference number 25823.
