Department:
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory – Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR)

The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (Mag Lab) advances discovery, innovation, and education by developing and operating the world’s most powerful high‑magnetic‑field facilities. The Electron Magnetic Resonance program provides researchers with state‑of‑the‑art high‑frequency continuous‑wave and pulsed EPR spectrometers and assistance with electron magnetic resonance measurements at frequencies and fields not available elsewhere. Florida State University and the Mag Lab invite qualified candidates to strengthen its EMR facility and advance cutting‑edge EMR research in high‑magnetic‑field environments.

• Provide user support and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of chemists, physicists, and engineers to integrate EPR findings into broader research projects.
• Design and conduct advanced EPR experiments (continuous‑wave and pulsed) to investigate the structure and dynamics of paramagnetic systems.
• Maintain and enhance EPR instrumentation, in particular the 94 GHz high‑power pulsed spectrometer (HiPER), ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
• Contribute to publications and conference presentations showcasing research results obtained in the EMR facility.
• Grow the EMR program by seeking funding sources and submitting external grant applications.

• PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
• Postdoctoral experience.
• Hands‑on experience with pulsed EPR spectroscopy.
• Proficiency in spectral analysis and simulation tools (e.g., Easy Spin, MATLAB, Bruker Xepr).
• Strong understanding of spin physics, relaxation processes, and hyperfine interactions; experience with bio‑chemical/bio‑physical applications.
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to communicate complex concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• A track record of scientific publications and conference presentations in the field of magnetic resonance.

As a member of the EMR program, you will be at the forefront of state‑of‑the‑art experiments that reveal the fundamental properties of paramagnetic species. Your expertise will help design, execute, and interpret high‑precision EPR studies that inform breakthroughs in chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering. The data you generate in collaboration with external users will directly influence the development of new functional materials, energy solutions, and quantum science.

• Access to state‑of‑the‑art EPR facilities, including high‑field and variable‑temperature capabilities.
• Opportunities to collaborate with leading research groups worldwide.
• Opportunities for professional development, including attending conferences, workshops, or specialized training.
• A supportive, intellectually vibrant environment that values scientific rigor and creative exploration.
• Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and flexible work arrangements.
