Description The Equbal Research laboratory in the Department of Chemistry, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a Post-Doctoral Associate to work on the development of Dynamic Nuclear Polarization at high magnetic field and fast magic-angle spinning. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) is a powerful technique for improving the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, but its efficiency (with the current method) is far below its full potential. The successful candidate will undertake an interesting project to improve DNP efficiency using novel organic radicals or polarizing agents for neurodegenerative biosolids samples at 600 MHz and 8-40 kHz magic-angle spinning (MAS).  We have recently found that the multi-electron coupling network plays a critical role in maximizing DNP efficiency. To gain further mechanistic insights, the candidate will be involved in experimental optimization of polarizing-agent design and DNP protocols to maximize the...
