Magnetic Resonance Scientist
Acknowledgment of Country
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our?vision towards reconciliation.
We are looking to appoint a scientist within CSIRO Mineral Resources’ Magnetic Resonance Development Team, at our Lucas Heights laboratory located in southern Sydney. We are a team of physicists and engineers who develop novel magnetic resonance (MR)-based on-line instruments to solve a range of challenging, real-world measurement problems in the mining and security industry. We test design ideas in the lab, prototype working concepts, and develop commercial analysers that are deployed in field applications. Applicants will require an Honours (or Masters) degree, or equivalent industry experience, in physics, or other physical sciences or engineering disciplines with a strong focus on experimental science. A background in experimental physical sciences is strongly desired as the role will predominantly involve laboratory hands-on work, focussing on the development of novel radio frequency sensors and methods using magnetic resonance. Hence, applicants with a strong, practical, working knowledge of any spectroscopy are encouraged to apply. The successful applicant will work in a team environment to complete research tasks as part of the development of MR sensors for minerals industry applications.
The position offers considerable variety, tackling scientific, engineering, and logistical challenges. The successful applicant is encouraged to develop their own skills and expertise to contribute to existing projects and to contribute to new capability development in the MR research area. Such areas currently include low-field NMR and high-power radiofrequency techniques. The position would ideally suit a person with excellent experimental skills, interested in working in developing ideas to move from the laboratory to industry applications. Significant work will also involve planning experiments and operating MR systems in the laboratory.
Location: Lucas Heights, Sydney, NSW
Salary: AU$87k - AU$98k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 3 years
