NMR technical manager position

Job descriptionThe successful candidate will assure the technical support of the three liquid-states NMR spectrometers of the Department of Organic Chemistry. He will operate a 500 MHz Bruker spectrometer equipped with a helium-cooled probe and supervise the "open access" to the two additional spectrometers (300 and 400 MHz spectrometers). He will also train the users for the "open access" and optimise the sample changer operations.The positionIn principle this is technical position, but the involvement of the candidate in research projects will depend on the competence and ability of the candidate to pursue projects in parallel to his main duties. We expect the candidate to realise experiments such as dynamic studies, diffusion measurements, kinetic measurements and other special but simple experiments requested by the members of the Department.BackgroundThe candidate should have good technical abilities and excellent competences in computer programming and automation techniques. A chemistry degree is a plus but other scientific backgrounds will be considered. The basic position is a "Classe 16" (86'000 CHF/year) but it may depend on the background and previous experience of the selected candidate. The temporary position (starting November 2013) may evolve into a permanent position.EnvironmentGeneva is a very international and pleasant city to live in. The scientific level of the Department is excellent and attracts top researchers. It is composed of more than 50 PhD students and postdocs. A group active in NMR methodology development and applications to chemistry and biology should contribute to this outstanding environment. LanguagesGood knowledge of English and notions of French (or a strong motivation to learn it) are required.
