Technical University of Munich (TUM)
Open Position for Nanoscale Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
The research group “Quantum Sensing” at the Technical University of Munich is inviting applications for a Ph.D. or postdoctoral position.
In recent years, spin defects in diamonds, specifically nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, have been shown to act as atomic-sized sensors for magnetic field detection. One highly promising direction is nano- and microscale nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The applications of our new technology range from the analysis of single cells in microfluidics to the characterization of surfaces and novel materials in the field of energy science. More information can be found at Quantum Sensing Group.
Current Open Position: NV-NMR on Thin Film (Energy) Materials
We have recently applied NV-centers to perform NMR at surfaces and interfaces. We aim to strengthen this research direction by using this method to probe thin film materials, focusing on catalysis and battery materials. The highly motivated candidate should have expertise in solid-state NMR spectroscopy or NV-quantum sensing and be interested in technology development.
The position is located at the Technical University of Munich (Chemistry Department) and is integrated into the Munich Center of Quantum Science and Technology. TUM is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified women are particularly encouraged to apply.
