<pre>3-year postdoc and 4-year PhD studentship in Multiscale simulation of magnetic hyperpolarisation

The NMR Research Unit at the University of Oulu, Finland, invites applications for a three-year 
postdoctoral position and a four-year PhD studentship in spin physics and magnetic resonance 
theory.
 
Modern nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy employs different spin hyperpolarisation 
techniques to enhance the sensitivity by several orders of magnitude as compared to the thermal 
equilibrium situation. In these positions the successful candidate will develop and apply a multiscale 
modelling paradigm to investigate the microscopic mechanisms of various hyperpolarisation 
processes, and contribute to their understanding and development. In the approach one combines 
molecular dynamics simulations of atomic motion, quantum chemistry calculations to define the spin 
Hamiltonian from the instantaneous simulation snapshots, and spin dynamics simulations of the 
density matrix, driven by these Hamiltonians. From the density matrix one calculates observables 
such as NMR spectra and magnetisation dynamics (e.g., relaxation) from first principles, to compare 
directly with the primary experimental results, hence realising true computational spectroscopy.

For the postdoctoral position we require a doctoral degree in physics, 
physical/theoretical/computational chemistry, materials science, or a related field. For the PhD 
student position a corresponding MSc degree (or equivalent) is required. In both positions the 
successful candidate has experience in quantum and statistical mechanics, as well as scientific 
computing. Knowledge of quantum chemistry, spin dynamics, molecular dynamics, or reaction 
kinetics is considered a merit.
