Senior Research Scientist in Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance (biochemistry background)

jobbeskrivelse:
The Department of Electrical Engineering seeks applicants for a permanent, half time position as senior research scientist in hyperpolarized magnetic resonance at the new Center of Excellence (CoE) in Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance. The Center for Hyperpolarized Magnetic Resonance (http://www.hypermag.elektro.dtu.dk ) is funded by the Danish National Research Foundation with the mission of addressing basic scientific questions of hyperpolarization by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) to enable new applications of Magnetic Resonance in the study of chemical reactions in real-time in vivo and in vitro. The CoE has high resolution NMR systems, several polarizers, a cell lab, chemistry lab and electronics labs. We are 20-25 researchers and support staff. Responsibilities and tasks We expect you to advance the research of the CoE on hyperpolarization in collaboration with colleagues and external collaborators. Specifically to develop new research ideas on cellular and enzymatic applications of hyperpolarized magnetic resonance. Hyperpolarization is a complex method that requires interdisciplinary skills, and the successful candidate will enter into a team and contribute to the common goals of the center. The successful candidate will conduct research on fundamental questions related to hyperpolarization in biological systems. Our research aims to understand basic science; and to answer these questions, it will be required to - Characterize (bio)chemical interactions in various biological systems - Develop predictive, kinetic modelling of interlinked chemical pathways - Address technological and methodological problems related to hyperpolarization of biological substrates, specifically NMR method development to extract information about the biological system The applicant may take part in research-based teaching. The candidate is expected to contribute to developing the research portfolio and funding within the above area. Idea generation, fund raising, research impact and innovation are key performance indicators for the position. Dissemination to the public and exchange of knowledge with society, including participation in the public debate is important. Guidance and supervision of postdocs and PhD students are expected. Contributing to the development of a good work atmosphere and a thriving environment is essential. Qualifications Candidates must - hold a PhD (or equivalent) as well as academic qualifications equivalent to those obtained by holding a position as Researcher or Postdoc. - have a background in biology, biochemistry, medicine or similar. - have extensive research experience and publication record within the field of hyperpolarization with dissolution-DNP - have a broad general knowledge of NMR and fundamental understanding of the application of NMR to biological systems. Assessment In the assessment of the candidates, consideration will be given to - scientific production and research potential at international level - innovative skills and the ability to generate new ideas - the ability to communicate at all levels such as the provision of scientific advice to public sector authorities - experience in teaching and education - the ability to promote and utilize research results - an all-round experience basis, preferably including international experience - the ability to contribute to development of the CoE by establishing collaborations and raising funding. For the specific position consideration will also be given to: - Experience with innovation, patenting and enterprise creation We offer DTU offers an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. DTU is a leading technical university in Northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the wor
