Full job description
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is an indispensable tool in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, pharmaceutical, food, polymer and material science. It enables identification, structure determination, the study of dynamics, and quantification of small- to macromolecules. However, NMR, especially of dilute analytes in complex mixtures, is hampered by low sensitivity due to the low nuclear polarization at thermal equilibrium. Parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) has grown into an attractive, relatively low-cost, and versatile technique to produce non-equilibrium nuclear polarization, or hyperpolarization, resulting in NMR signal enhancements of 2-3 order of magnitudes in specific substrate molecules, enabling detection at nanomolar concentrations. The goal of this PDF project is to setup and exploit PHIP to (i) push the sensitivity of quantitative NMR to unprecedented limits, enabling orders of magnitudes lower limits of detection and quantification, and (ii) enable the use of a larger number of nuclear spin qubits for the simulation of more complex quantum algorithms by offsetting the inherent polarization loss during computation.
Education
Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, or closely related field.
For information on certificates and diplomas issued abroad, please see Degree equivalency
Experience
- Experience with developing and employing advanced NMR techniques, including pulse sequence development, multi-nuclear and multi-dimensional experiments; and
- Prior experience in hyperpolarization techniques is highly desirable.
Language Requirements
English
Information on language requirements and self-assessment tests

The NRC Advantage
The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is the Government of Canada's largest research organization supporting industrial innovation, the advancement of knowledge and technology development. We collaborate with over 70 colleges, universities and hospitals annually, work with 800 companies on their projects, and provide advice or funding to over 8000 Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) each year.
We bring together the brightest minds to deliver tangible impacts on the lives of Canadians and people around the world. And now, we want to partner with you. Let your expertise and inspirations make an impact by joining the NRC.
At the NRC Employee wellness matters. We offer flexible work schedules as well as part-time work to help employees maintain work-life balance. We are one of the few federal organizations that close our offices during the December holiday season. We offer professional learning and development opportunities such as conferences, workshops, and a suite of mentorship, award and recognition programs. Diversity enables creativity and innovation. Fostering a diverse, inclusive, welcoming and supportive workplace is important to us, and contributes to a more inclusive Canadian innovation system. We welcome all qualified applicants and encourage you to complete the employment equity self-declaration questions during the job application process.
