What are postdoctoral NMR positions?

Postdoctoral NMR positions are research roles for individuals who have recently completed their PhD and specialize in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. These positions typically involve conducting advanced research using NMR techniques to study molecular structures, dynamics, and interactions, often in chemistry, biochemistry, or materials science. Postdoctoral NMR researchers work in academic, government, or industrial laboratories, contributing to scientific publications and supporting larger research projects. They also gain additional training and experience to prepare for independent research careers.

What are some common challenges faced by postdoctoral researchers specializing in NMR, and how can they be addressed?

Postdoctoral researchers in NMR often encounter challenges such as optimizing experimental protocols, troubleshooting instrument issues, and balancing independent research with collaborative projects. Managing time between data acquisition, analysis, and manuscript preparation can also be demanding. Building strong relationships with instrument facility staff and maintaining open communication with collaborators can help mitigate these challenges. Additionally, staying updated with the latest developments in NMR techniques and participating in relevant workshops can enhance problem-solving skills and research productivity.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Postdoctoral NMR researcher, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Postdoctoral NMR researcher, you need a Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, or a related field with deep knowledge of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and structural analysis. Expertise in operating advanced NMR spectrometers, data processing software (like TopSpin or NMRPipe), and possibly experience with isotopic labeling or biomolecular systems is essential. Strong analytical thinking, collaboration, and scientific communication skills set exceptional candidates apart. These competencies are crucial for producing high-quality research, solving complex molecular problems, and advancing scientific understanding in collaborative environments.

Job description

Position Details
Title Postdoctoral Fellow - Harvey Lab Appointment Status Non-Tenure Track Department IU Bloomington Chemistry Location Bloomington Position Summary
The Department of Chemistry in the College of Arts + Sciences at Indiana University is a highly collegial department with cutting-edge expertise in a wide variety of modern disciplines including materials chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. The department has remarkable characterization facilities including multiple transmission electron microscopes including state-of-the-art NeoArm JEOL, multiple powder and single crystal X-ray diffractometers, NMR, EPR, and time-resolved fluorescence amongst others.
Job Summary:

The Harvey Lab at Indiana University focuses on the synthesis and spectroscopy of colloidal inorganic nanomaterials, particularly binary and ternary transition metal oxides, chalcogenides, and pnictides. Research topics range from developing new synthetic routes for unique nanocrystal compositions to in-depth characterization of electronic, optical, magnetic, and thermal properties of nanomaterials. The Harvey Lab is seeking a postdoctoral fellow with expertise in wet-chemical inorganic nanocrystal synthesis. Ideal candidates will have completed a Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, or materials science/engineering by or before May 2026. Successful candidates will have particular interest in both fundamental materials/inorganic/physical chemistry as well as applications including energy, spintronics, and quantum computing. The candidate must have expertise in the synthesis of colloidal inorganic nanocrystals: air-free synthesis and work-up (including Schlenk line and glovebox proficiency), powder X-ray diffraction, absorption spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. Ideally the candidate will have some experience with NMR, ICP-OES/ICP-MS, and time-resolved photoluminescence.
The Harvey Lab is a collaborative, multidisciplinary group with a wide range of research interests. Successful applicants will be joining a new group and will be vital in developing research directions and lab culture. Postdocs must be willing and excited to help mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
Responsibilities:

Manage own academic research project(s). Maintain good record keeping of experiments and data. Write up results for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
Develop new research directions within the Harvey Lab through innovative project ideas.
Achieve research objectives by either developing new syntheses, characterizing novel materials, or setting up spectroscopic techniques.
Help in the set-up, maintenance, and upkeep of instrumentation/equipment. When necessary, develop and write SOPs.
Mentor undergraduate and graduate students with their projects. Teach other group members new skills.
Stay informed of current literature relevant to academic research projects.
Basic Qualifications
Required Qualifications:

Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science/engineering or physics at time of appointment. Previous experience with the synthesis of inorganic materials.
Preferred Qualifications:

Leadership and mentorship experience. Applicants should have strong communication skills. Strength in both material synthesis, characterization, and spectroscopy.
Department Contact for Questions
Questions regarding the position or application process can be directed to: Prof. Samantha Harvey, Department of Chemistry, Indiana University, 800 E. Kirkwood Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47405, samaharv@indiana.edu.
