Staff Research Scientist

The Frydman lab has a tenure-track opening for a Staff Scientist in the field of magnetic resonance, with an emphasis in conducting pioneering research in the development of new hyperpolarized NMR and MRI methods.

This is a position oriented entirely towards academic activities, with no teaching or service mandates

Suitable candidates will be considered only if they have a proven ability to excel at scientific research. 

Applicants must have a PhD in magnetic resonance as well as suitable postdoctoral experience, with a proven track record evidencing an ability to change existing paradigms, and moving forward the experimental state-of-the-art. Skills that the candidate should evidence include:

·       Proven ability to develop new MR experiments, code new pulse sequences, and build the hardware needed to enhance MR’s capabilities

·       Skills in developing and coding new simulation and data analysis pipelines

·       Track record in collaborations and in student mentoring

·       Capacity to oversee advanced NMR facilities and ensure their continued performance at state-of-the-art levels.

·       Skills in the writing of grants and manuscripts

To apply, please email your CV including a cover letter, a full list of publications and two references to be contacted, to [email protected]. 

The Frydman lab focuses on developing new technologies in solution and solid state NMR, in in vivo NMR and in NMR imaging, enabling new applications in materials, biophysics, biology and medicine. The candidate’s projects will eventually deal with all these topics, but will begin with research at the interface of biomolecular and in vivo NMR and MRI–including the development of new forms of enhancing MR’s sensitivity that exploit either directly the hyperpolarization imparted on the spins, or pools of hyperpolarized / abundant spin reservoirs that can enhance the sensitivity of dilute analytes of interest via chemical exchanges.  Further information on the Lab’s activities can be found at https://www.weizmann.ac.il/chembiophys/Frydman_group/

Information about Weizmann’s Staff Scientist program can be found at https://www.weizmann.ac.il/Staff_Scientists/.  Candidates that fulfill some but not all of the above-mentioned requirements, will be considered at non-tenure-track entry levels including as Senior Intern or as Senior Postdoctoral Fellow – positions which might become tenure-track in due course. See https://www.weizmann.ac.il/acadaff/academic-positions for details on these programs.
