Research Fellow in Microfluidic Magnetic Resonance

University of Southampton - Magnetic Resonance

Location: Southampton
Salary: £36,333 to £38,474 per annum
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 27th March 2023
Closes: 24th April 2023
Job Ref: 2234123EB
 

You will join the School of Chemistry in Microfluidic Magnetic Resonance in the team of Professor Marcel Utz. The position is funded through a recent research grant from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to a team lead by Prof. Utz, Prof. Malcolm Levitt, Prof. Ilya Kuprov and Prof. Richard Whitby. The project is aimed at combining advanced nuclear hyperpolarisation techniques with microfabricated lab-on-a-chip devices, and poses multiple interdisciplinary research challenges.

The University of Southampton ranks in the top one per cent of world universities*, and as one of the UK’s top 15 research-intensive universities. Magnetic Resonance is a research focus area at Southampton, with currently 8 academic staff members, and a vibrant community of postdoctoral researchers and numerous postgraduate and undergraduate students. A range of world-class NMR systems are available, including a 700 MHz cryoprobe system, various state-of-the art solid- and liquid state NMR spectrometers, EPR, and para-hydrogen hyperpolarisation equipment. The University of Southampton is also home to the the Zepler Institute, which provides access to world-class micro- and nanofabrication facilities. 

Microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices are finding wider and wider applications in areas as diverse as the culture of cells and tissues, chemical reaction engineering, or medical diagnostics. Our aim is to bring the power of magnetic resonance spectroscopy to bear on complex microfluidic lab-on-a chip devices. In this position, you will lead a vigorous research program aimed at integrating hyperpolarised magnetic resonance with microfluidic systems. 

The position is a stepping stone towards an independent career for a researcher with a strong background in experimental physical chemistry or a related field with experience in nuclear magnetic resonance. Professional experience in lab-on-a-chip systems, flow chemistry, and computer simulations is desirable, but not a prerequisite. If you are a passionate and creative scientist with an emerging track record of original contributions in these areas and some experience in designing scientific instrumentation, this position is for you.
