A Postdoctoral Research Associate position leading to Tenure-Track Junior Research Scientist is available for a talented and motivated researcher wanting to develop her or his own research project in a multidisciplinary environment. This position is available within the framework of the project entitled „Magnetic resonance methods to assess cellular metabolism and the formation of reactive oxygen species in the context of therapeutic approaches”, carried out through the PNRR/2022/C9/MCID/I8 competition of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Component 9- Support for the private sector, research, development and innovation, Investment 8- "Development of a program for attracting highly specialized human resources from abroad in research, development and innovation activities", financed by the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism, Financing Contract no. 760110/23.05.2023, signed between Costin D. Nenitzescu Institute of Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry and the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, as Coordinator of the programm. The selected candidate will be involved in the implementation of new technologies and protocols to perform NMR experiments.

Specific Requirements

The candidate must have a bachelor's and master's degree and have successfully passed a PhD defense.

• • Background in Biophysics/ Biochemistry / Chemistry / Structural Biology /Molecular Biology/ Molecular spectroscopy;
• • A strong background in NMR spectroscopy (1D and 2D experiments, pulse sequences and product operators for spin dynamics) is desirable. Experience in liquid-state hyperpolarized NMR would be highly desirable.
• • Skills in analyzing cell lysates and free radicals;
• • The candidate must have willingness to travel within the country and abroad;
• 
  
• Practical computer skills (Word, Excel, Power Point, Origin) are required.

The candidate will develop and implement NMR methods, adapt hardware and protocols to perform NMR experiments in vitro and in cells. Specific applications for the study of the metabolism of healthy and cancer cells will be carried out in close collaboration with the research groups at Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP), in particular with the group of Prof. Paul Vasos.

The application dossier must contain the documents stipulated in Art. 15 para. (6) of Law no. 319/2003 on the Statute of Research and Development Personnel, namely:

▪ The candidate's application, requesting to apply for the postdoctoral fellowship, dated and signed by the candidate, approved by the Director of the institute and registered within the legal deadline;
