The Materials NMR Lab at New York University Abu Dhabi seeks to appoint a Post-Doctoral Associate to conduct research in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, materials synthesis, computational chemistry, and advanced structural characterization of functional materials.

The candidate should have a strong research background in at least one of the following areas: solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, materials synthesis, computational chemistry, NMR crystallography, or advanced structural characterization of materials.

The candidate is expected to have demonstrated experience in conducting independent research, designing experiments, analyzing scientific data, and preparing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Experience mentoring undergraduate or graduate students, assisting with research proposals, and supporting laboratory safety and research compliance activities is preferred.

The candidate must be able to follow institutional research guidelines, maintain accurate research records, comply with laboratory safety policies, and uphold responsible conduct of research standards.

To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree/ copy of highest degree, research statement, and at least 2 letters of recommendation, all in PDF format.

NYU Abu Dhabi is the first comprehensive liberal arts and research campus in the Middle East to be operated abroad by a major American research university.

NYU Abu Dhabi has integrated a highly selective undergraduate curriculum across the disciplines with a world center for advanced research and scholarship.

Together, NYU's campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai form the backbone of a unique global university, giving faculty and students opportunities to experience varied learning environments and immersion in other cultures at one or more of the numerous study-abroad sites NYU maintains on six continents.

NYUAD is committed to upholding a culture of non-discrimination, anti-harassment, dignity, and mutual respect; providing equal access and opportunity; and fostering academic excellence in learning, research, and teaching.

Graduate education is an area of growth for the University; the current graduate student population of over 100 students is expected to expand in the next decade as doctoral programs are developed.

In order for research staff to thrive, we offer a comprehensive benefits package.

Multidisciplinary research and exceptional teaching in a global campus community are hallmarks of the University’s mission.

What you’ll bring

• The candidate should have a strong research background in at least one of the following areas: solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, materials synthesis, computational chemistry, NMR crystallography, or advanced structural characterization of materials.
• The candidate is expected to have demonstrated experience in conducting independent research, designing experiments, analyzing scientific data, and preparing manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
