Postdoctoral Fellowship: Postdoc in Modelling of Solid-State NMR Experiments — Aarhus University, Denmark

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Modelling of Solid-State NMR Experiments

Institution: Aarhus University, Department of Chemistry
Location: Gustav Wieds Vej 14, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark
Duration: Fixed-term, full-time position from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029 (3 years)
Application Deadline: 15 August 2026, 23:59 CEST

About the Role

The Danish Center for Ultrahigh-Field NMR Spectroscopy at the Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University, invites applications for a three-year postdoctoral position in the research group of Prof. Thomas Vosegaard. The project focuses on combining state-of-the-art instrumentation and experiments with computational modelling of solid-state NMR experiments. The successful candidate will strengthen the group’s newly developed web-based platform EasyNMR (easynmr.pastis.dk) by embedding and developing additional tools for data processing and analysis. Application areas include materials/catalysis, lipidomics, and NMR of food systems, with a goal of remaining domain agnostic in the analytical approaches.

Project Goals

• Develop and integrate new algorithms for modelling solid-state NMR experiments into the EasyNMR platform.
• Contribute to the design and execution of solid-state NMR experiments.
• Collaborate with team members to refine project directions and applications.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate should:

• Hold a PhD in NMR spectroscopy or a closely related field.
• Demonstrate experience in solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
• Be familiar with programming, preferably dynamic web programming.
• Show proven scientific excellence through publications and research activities.
• Work both independently and collaboratively, contributing creatively to the project.
• Possess strong oral and written communication skills and good collegiality.

What We Offer

• A stimulating international research environment at the Danish Center for Ultrahigh Field NMR Spectroscopy, with state-of-the-art spectrometers (950 MHz, 700 MHz, 500 MHz, 400 MHz).
• Access to complementary research activities including liquid-state NMR, MAS solid-state NMR, HR-MAS, pulse sequence development, low-field NMR, high-pressure NMR, and imaging.
• Support for career development through Aarhus University’s Junior Researcher Development Programme.
• Relocation service, career counselling for expat partners, and tax reduction schemes for researchers (if applicable).
• An inclusive and diverse work environment; all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply.

How to Apply

Applications must be submitted in English and include:

• A curriculum vitae
• A degree certificate
• A complete list of publications
• A statement of future research plans and information on research activities
• A teaching portfolio and verified information on previous teaching experience (if any)

Shortlisting will be used: after the deadline, selected candidates will be evaluated by an expert assessment committee. All applicants will be notified about the outcome. Appointment is in accordance with the collective labour agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Salary depends on seniority as per the collective agreement.
