Master Thesis - Spin Dynamics for NMR Hyperpolarization

Place of Employment: Jülich
Start Date: To the next possible date
Application Deadline: The position will be published until it is successfully filled.

Your Job

This project on the topic of hyperpolarization using parahydrogen-induced polarization has two possible directions:

• Simulating and implementing NMR pulse sequences to manipulate hyperpolarized spin states
• Constructing instrumentation to do low-field NMR experiments

Your Profile

• Current master studies in physics, chemistry, materials science or similar
• Basic experience with NMR is beneficial
• Willing to work within a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment
• Curiosity and excitement to learn
• Good knowledge of spoken English

In the research group you will work in an environment that combines the best parts of modern science with traditional academic values. You will carry out fast-paced research on societally-relevant topics, with individual support (especially for your personal well-being) so you can grow as an individual.
