Hello all,
I am passing this information if you have anyone that would be interested in applying for a Solid State NMR postdoctoral position at K-State.
_______________________
TWO POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS AVAILABLE: Two postdoctoral positions are available immediately for studies of ferroelastic and ferroelectric domain switching, crystal growth, crystallography, and molecular recognition phenomena in organic inclusion compounds and related materials. One position requires a strong background in SOLID-STATE NMR spectroscopy; the researcher would be responsible for the operation and maintenance of a 300 MHz NMR instrument dedicated to solid-state experiments such as MAS NMR, 2H NMR, and single crystal NMR. The ideal applicant would have extensive experience in a variety of solid-state NMR experiments as well as experience with construction and maintenance of NMR equipment. Experience and interest in organic synthesis of labeled compounds would also be very helpful. The second position requires a strong background in SOLID-STATE ORGANIC CHEMISTRY; the project will focus on cooperative phenomena and domain switching in ferroelastic and ferroelectric materials. The ideal applicant would have extensive experience in the area of crystallography, crystal growth and organic synthesis, or some combination thereof. Specific expertise with crystallography of unconventional materials (including disordered, incommensurate or modulated crystals) and with unconventional crystallographic experiments (including X-ray topography and in situ experiments with stresses or fields) is preferred, as is experience with spectroscopy or microscopy of crystalline materials. In each case, the successful applicant will be exposed to a wide variety of techniques in the area of solid-state organic chemistry. Duration of each position would be for one year with the possibility of extension to two years. Salary will be commensurate with experience and background. Along with a cover letter that specifies the position or positions for which you are applying, send CV and the names and addresses of three references to Prof. Mark D. Hollingsworth, Chemistry Dept., 213 CBC Building, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506-0401; ph.: 785-532-2727, fax: 785-532-6666, e-mail: mdholl_at_ksu.edu. Review of applications will commence August 1, but the search will be extended until suitable applicants are found. In accordance with Kansas Board of Regents policy, a background check is required. Kansas State University is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and it actively seeks diversity among its employees.
Prof. Mark D. Hollingsworth
