Summary

We are looking to recruit a researcher with a strong background in computational electronic structure who is interested in applying these techniques to industrial problems. While based in Oxford the researcher will spend periods of time embedded within a number of partner companies (Astra-Zenica, Pfizer, Johnson-Matthey and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre), working closely with experimentalists in solid-state NMR. The closing date for applications is 6 January 2016.

Further details.
The post is part the Collaborative Computational Project in NMR Crystallography (CCP-NC), which supports a multidisciplinary community of NMR spectroscopists, crystallographers, materials modellers and application scientists by developing and integrating software across the area of NMR crystallography. The software involved includes the CASTEP electronic structure code (http://www.castep.org), MagresView (http://www.ccpnc.ac.uk/magresview/) for the visualization of computed NMR parameters as well as several python libraries for the processing of computed data. We are looking recruit a researcher, who will be based in Oxford University and will interact with a number of companies to further the use of NMR Crystallography in Industry. Specifically to assist with the deployment of CCP-NC software, to identify software requirements, and to help address those needs. The companies involved are Astra-Zenica, Pfizer, Johnson-Matthey and the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre. Reporting to Professor Jonathan Yates, you will interact closely with other members of the CCP-NC community, particularly Professor Steven Brown (University of Warwick) and Dr Paul Hodgkinson (Durham University). The position is fixed-term for 1 year.
