Dr Walter Kockenberger
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited from graduates in physics for a PhD Studentship in the Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre within Nottingham University's School of Physics and Astronomy. The projects are linked to the Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) research group within the Centre.
DNP is a method that can be used to generate signal enhancements of several orders of magnitude in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance or Magnetic Resoance Imaging experiments. The optimisation of this technique and its adaptation to a wide range of novel NMR experiments is currently the focus of substantial research efforts in many academic NMR and MRI groups worldwide.
The PhD project involves the participation in a large hardware development project. It includes collaboration with several industrial partners. The object is to design and implement a novel strategy to optimise the use of DNP in NMR spectroscopy. The project offers excellent training in many research fields, including Magnetic Resonance, microwave technology, laser optics and low temperature physics. The student will join a dynamics team of physicists, chemists and engineers.

Funding Notes
Application for the studentship is welcome from highly motivated European students with a high undergraduate degree in physics or related subjects. Previous experience with NMR is an advantage but not a prerequisite. The studentship is fully funded and linked to a large EPSRC research grant.
