Post-doctoral position in applications of magnetometry

Post-doctoral position in applications of magnetometry in nuclear magnetic resonance

ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.

The successful candidate will be joining the Atomic Quantum Optics group led by Prof. Dr. Morgan Mitchell and the tasks and responsibilities will be:

• Conduct experimental research in the following areas:Miniaturized optically pumped atomic magnetometers (OPMs) for ultra-low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); NMR MRI with a focus on MRI of microfluidic platforms, using radio-frequency OPMs; Hyperpolarization of carbon-13 molecular probes and their detection using OPMs
• Build experimental apparatus for nuclear spin hyperpolarization, OPMs and NMR/MRI
• Collaborate with the research group and external partners on cutting-edge atomic and nuclear sensor applications
• Present research findings at group meetings, conferences, and through scientific publications
• Support mentoring and supervision of junior researchers and students within the group
• Maintain lab equipment and ensure compliance with safety protocols

Funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by the European Union “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR.

Suitable candidates are requested to submit:
