We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so. 

The appointee will be one of three Research Fellows appointed on an EPSRC International Centre-to-Centre grant entitled: “Pushing the Limits of High-Field Solid-State NMR Technology: Enhancing Applications to Advanced Materials, the Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals” that has been awarded to Principle Investigator’s at a consortium of Universities (University of Warwick, University of St Andrews, University of Southampton, University of Liverpool, Lancaster University and University of Birmingham). This 26-month position is focused on applications of state-of-the-art high field solid-state NMR to pharmaceuticals. The lead supervisor is Professor Steven Brown at Warwick, in collaboration with Professor Frédéric Blanc at Liverpool, as well as Professor Józef Lewandowski at Warwick. The research program is centred around the exchange of expertise between the UK High-Field Solid-State NMR National Research Facility (NRF), The UK High-Field Solid-State NMR Facility (warwick.ac.uk), that is hosted at the University of Warwick and several ≥ 1GHz NMR centres around the world. There is also interaction with industry partners: AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Bruker Biospin, Merck, Quotient Sciences, and Pfizer. The NRF provides access to a 850 MHz wide bore and a 1 GHz narrow bore Bruker Neo spectrometer, as well as a recently installed 1.2 GHz system. The facility has a large variety of MAS probes including a 0.5 mm probe spinning up to 160 kHz, a DOR probe, a 7 mm LASER probe, and 0.7 mm, 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.2 mm, 4 mm and 7 mm probes, with a large variety of triple resonance combination, and extended variable temperature capabilities.

The anticipated start date is 1st August 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter, for a duration of 26 months.

You should hold, or be about to attain, a PhD in solid-state NMR as applied to chemistry/ pharmacy/ materials science and/ life sciences. You will be enthusiastic about the capabilities of solid-state NMR to answer questions relating to structure and dynamics at the atomic level with applications to pharmaceuticals.

For informal enquiries, please contact Maksym Myronov (Associate Professor - Reader) m.myronov@warwick.ac.uk

The Semiconductor Research Group (https://www.warwick.ac.uk/silicon) in the Department of Physics seeks to appoint a Research Fellow to support world class research and development activities on SiGe epitaxial materials for realization of quantum computer processor. Quantum computers promise to be one of the main technical advances of the forthcoming decades. As a member of the group, you will be responsible for epitaxial materials characterization and support of epitaxial growth research activities.

You will have outstanding knowledge of the group-IV epitaxial semiconductor materials and devices physics and technologies. You will have, at least few years, hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge of structural and electrical characterization of the group-IV semiconductor materials, including SiGe, and devices using TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD, XRR, FTIR, SE, Hall effect and resistivity, C-V and I-V characterisation techniques. You will be an excellent communicator capable of working effectively both independently and as part of a research team. You will possess excellent planning and time management skills to ensure your research objectives are achieved effectively. You will be responsible for defining milestones and timelines and ensuring timely projects executions. You will contribute to the group’s strategy, report your scientific findings internally to colleagues and collaborators, and disseminate them via journal publications and conference presentations. With your talent, passion and expertise, you will become part of a team that makes the impossible possible and broaden scientific knowledge.

If you have not yet been awarded your PhD, but are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant on level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon successful award of your PhD and evidence of this fact, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of the level 6 of the University grade structure.
