Your personal sphere of play:
- Operation and management: Contribute to overseeing the daily operations of the NMR core facility and the coordination with the shared hyperstructure with the other NMR centers at the University of Vienna, with responsibility for personnel, scheduling, and budget management.
- User and research support: Maintain and develop relations with internal and external users, provide scientific guidance and foster collaborations.
- Instrumentation management: Maintain, develop, and troubleshoot high-end NMR spectrometers (400–700 MHz, solution- and solid-state NMR, EPR, DNP, Prodigy and He-Cryo units), ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
- Method development: Develop hardware solutions for specialized NMR applications incl. (micro-)control units, sample handling systems, tailored console updates. Develop and optimize pulse programs and parameter sets for chemical, biochemical, and materials applications; support the implementation of full automation workflows.
- Infrastructure maintenance: Maintain and troubleshoot the associated IT infrastructure (Linux and Windows systems), as well as gas and cryogenic systems (He recovery, gas and liquid gas supply for the NMR Centre and the Faculty of Chemistry).
- Teaching and training in NMR spectroscopy: Holding indenpent courses within the scope of the Austrian bargain agreement. Contribute to teaching activities within the Faculty of Chemistry, with a focus on applying NMR spectroscopy and supervision of teaching events at the bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD levels.
- Facility management: Manage budgets, monitor facility usage, and maintain the web-based facility management software to ensure transparent and efficient operation.
- Scientific development: Stay abreast of advances in magnetic resonance and implement best practices to support the Faculty’s and Institute’s evolving research needs.
- Administrative engagement: Contribute to administrative tasks related to research, teaching, and institutional development within the Faculty’s NMR Core Facility.
- The position focuses on supporting and developing research infrastructure rather than establishing an independent research line.
