INAC (Institute for Nanoscience and Cryogenics, CEA Grenoble) has a PhD opening for a physical chemist.  The PhD will deal with the development and application of a new and emerging hyperpolarization technique: high-magnetic field MAS-DNP (Magic Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization). This approach is used to hyperpolarize nuclei such that high-sensitivity and high-resolution solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra can be obtained and used to extract important structural information at the atomic scale, such as surface functionalization and internuclear proximities/distances, as well as crystallographic data, etc. Since the potential of this technique is beginning to be realized, the aim of this PhD is to further develop the methodology (sample preparation, new polarizing agents and radio-frequency pulse schemes) for the study of complex glycopolymers.  This will be achieved through the combined use of EPR, DNP and MAS-DNP numerical simulation as well as developing advanced NMR experiments. 

The thesis will mainly be performed in the DNP group of the Institute for Nanosciences and Cryogenics (CEA/University Grenoble Alpes) (http://www.dnpgrenoble.net/) in the context of international and industrial collaborations (NHMFL Tallahassee, Florida and Bruker Biospin).It will take place in a highly dynamical environment at the MINATEC campus (CEA Grenoble) within the MEM laboratory (CEA INAC) where the DNP group, in collaboration with the Bruker company (world leader in NMR instrumentation), is currently pushing the development and use of this technique (high magnetic field DNP) far beyond its state-of-the-art. The group has two high-field MAS-DNP systems  and has successfully conducted instrumental and methodological developments in the subsequent years. Notably, the group has built equipment that can sustainably cool large flows of Helium gas and thus consequently has access to MAS-DNP performed at very low temperatures (10-100 K), which opens a whole realm of experimental possibilities. 

This PhD work will take place within a larger ERC-funded project (PI G. De Paëpe) involving strong partnerships between academic laboratories and industrial partners.

The PhD will deal with the development and application of an emerging hyperpolarization technique: high-magnetic field MAS-DNP (Magic Angle Spinning Dynamic Nuclear Polarization). This approach is used to hyperpolarize nuclei such that high-sensitivity and high-resolution solid-state NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectra can be obtained and used to extract important structural information at the atomic scale, such as surface functionalization, internuclear proximities/distances, as well as crystallographic data, etc. Since the potential of this technique is beginning to be realized, the aim of this PhD is to further develop the methodology: including sample preparation, design and testing of new polarizing agents as well as radio-frequency pulse schemes, for the study of complex systems that can't be readily tackled with other techniques. More specifically we plan to further develop MAS-DNP simulations to design better polarizing agents that will be tested experimentally. These developments will be used to improve our ability to study ligand binding sites in biomolecular systems, as well as to relate structure to function in advanced glyco-based materials. This will be achieved through the combined use of DFT, EPR, DNP and MAS-DNP numerical simulation as well as developing advanced NMR experiments.

The thesis will mainly be performed in the DNP group of the Institute for Nanosciences and Cryogenics (CEA/University Grenoble Alpes) (http://www.dnpgrenoble.net/) in the context of an international collaboration. The PhD studentship will be funded for a duration of 3 years, starting October 1^st 2018.

Grenoble is one of the major cities in Europe for research with a large international scientific community. In addition, Grenoble has a large international student population, is a very pleasant city to live in, and is known as the “Capital of the Alps” with easy access to great skiing and hiking. It’s also only 2 hours’ drive to the Mediterranean Sea, Italy, or Switzerland. Grenoble, Lyon, and Geneva airports are nearby and permit straightforward international travel. 

The candidate should have a Master degree in Chemistry/biochemistry/biophysics. Previous experience in NMR spectroscopy and/or computational methods is an advantage. He/she should have no issues with mobility and have a good comment (written/spoken) of English.

Motivated candidates should send a detailed CV, a letter of motivation, Master grades, and at least two names for recommendation to Sabine Hediger (sabine.hediger @ cea.fr (sabine.hediger @ cea.fr)) and Gaël De Paëpe (gael.depaepe @ cea.fr (gael.depaepe @ cea.fr)).
