Tenure-track staff scientist position in magnetic resonance science at the Weizmann Institute

The Frydman Lab is looking for a Staff Scientist in the field of magnetic resonance at large, with an emphasis in conducting pioneering research in the development of new NMR and MRI methods. This is a tenure-track 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. The candidate’s projects will deal with developing and applying new technologies in solution and solid state NMR, as well as in in vivo NMR and in NMR imaging. Further information on the Lab’s activities can be found at https://www.weizmann.ac.il/chembiophys/Frydman_group/. News about the group can also be found in Twitter (@lab_lucio) and LinkedIn. Information about Weizmann’s Staff Scientist program can be found at https://www.weizmann.ac.il/Staff_Scientists/. 

Applicants to the Staff Scientist position must have a PhD or postdoc in a topic related to magnetic resonance, with a proven track record evidencing an ability to change existing paradigms, and moving forward the experimental state-of-the-art. To apply, email your CV including a cover letter, a full list of publications and two references to be contacted to [email protected]. 

About The Venue.

The Institute is located in a small, affordable and friendly town at the feet of the Judean hills, and is one of Israel's premier scientific institutions. It is a research center whose official language is English. From its inception the Institute has shown an unequivocal commitment to all areas of magnetic resonance, and over the years it has made extensive investments in MR faculty, staff and infrastructure. Close to twelve research groups involved in all areas of magnetic resonance partake of collaborative developments in magnetic resonance, lending a uniquely vibrant atmosphere for professional development. The Institute in general and the Frydman Lab in particular, also possess a unique array of magnetic resonance infrastructures supported by a dedicated endowed center (https://centers.weizmann.ac.il/clore-hi-field-nmr/equipment). These include a 1 GHz machine equipped with three cryoprobes; new Prisma and Terra human 3T and 7T scanners with up to 128 receive and 16 transmit channels; a cryoprobe-equipped 15.2T animal MRI scanner; several 3.35 T DNP hyperpolarizers; an 800 MHz NMR with cryoprobe, solids and microimaging accessories; several 600 MHz instruments with solids/liquids/imaging facilities; 7 and 9.4 T animal MRI scanners, and numerous (dozens) of other NMR instruments placed in various magnetic resonance buildings.
