DIRECTOR, ELECTRON MAGNETIC RESONANCE PROGRAM - Florida State University
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) in Tallahassee, Florida, is seeking a senior researcher in electron resonance to lead the existing Electron Magnetic Resonance Program. The Program currently comprises four faculty-level in-house scientists who develop high field instrumentation, assist the external users, and develop their own research interests. In addition to the in-house research and outside collaborations, there is strong interaction with the electron paramagnetic resonance laboratories at Florida State University (FSU) and the University of Florida (UF) in the areas of structural biology, chemistry, physics, material science, and computation. The EMR Program features unique high-frequency spectrometers (up to 800 GHz) and access to uniquely high magnetic fields (up to 45 T). Research focus includes nano-scale magnets, metallo-proteins, and instrument and technology development for high-frequency, time-domain EMR. Other opportunities include the use of a unique THz-infrared light source currently under design for installation at the NHMFL in the five to ten-year timeframe.
Minimum qualifications include a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, biology, or related. The successful candidate has a track record of outstanding scientific scholarship, and is expected to define and develop a multidisciplinary long-term vision for the Program. Senior scientists with a strong international reputation and strong publication and grantsmanship records are encouraged to apply. Particular research interests in one or more of the following areas is preferred but not required: molecular magnets and other nano-scale magnetic material and/or metallo-protein structure and function. The appointment will be either at the SCHOLAR SCIENTIST level (nontenure track) in the NHMFL or a PROFESSORIAL position in an appropriate academic department at FSU.
To apply, please send your curriculum vitae and cover letter describing your experience, along with names and contact information of three references to: Prof. Peter Fajer, Chair, Electron Magnetic Resonance Director Search Committee, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Florida State University, 1800 E. Paul Dirac Drive, Tallahassee, FL 32310-2740, telephone: 850-645-1337, fax: 850-644-1366, or e-mail: fajer@magnet.fsu.edu The selection will start on April 15, 2007, and will continue until position is filled.
