Apologies for the cross-posting. Please bring this to the attention of
anyone you know who might be interested.

Two post-doc positions are in solid-state NMR are available at the
Department of Chemistry, University of Durham to work with Professor
Robin K. Harris.

Position 1. "Adsorption onto Activated Carbon using Magic-angle
Spinning NMR"
Reference A076C
Salary Range UKP16,286 - UKP19,869
This post is available for one year, with an expectation of extension
for a further year, commencing as soon as possible (and in any case
before 1 August, 2000). The research will involve MAS experiments on a
range of NMR spectrometers to study the adsorption of small molecule
adsorbates into the pores of activated carbon samples. The emphasis
will be on multi-nuclear work.

Position 2. "High-field NMR of Solids using Unusual or Difficult
Nuclei"
Reference A075C
Salary Range UKP16,286 - UKP19,869
This post, funded by the UK EPSRC, is available for 2 years, preferably
commencing 1 August, 2000 (+/- 1 month). The research will use a
Chemagnetics Infinity 600 spectrometer sited at the University of
Warwick, as well as a Varian UnityPlus 300 system at Durham (both
instruments being dedicated to work on solids). The research will
concentrate on the use of nuclei such as Li-6, Mg-25, O-17, Ca-43, and
others which are difficult to access. Applications to various inorganic
systems, including ceramic materials, are envisaged.

For both positions applicants should have a PhD and a record of research
achievement involving NMR of solids. The work will be directed by
Professor Robin K. Harris, who may be contacted by email about
scientific matters >>only<< at r.k.harris@durham.ac.uk. Further details
of the post and of the Department of Chemistry, together with an
application form, may be obtained from:
The Director of Personnel,
University of Durham,
Old Shire Hall,
Durham DH1 3HP,

Please quote the appropriate reference number. Closing date for
Position 1 is 15 February, 2000 (but late applications may be
considered). Closing data for Position 2 is 2 March, 2000.
