Dear Colleagues,
We are seeking applications from highly motivated and talented postdoctoral candidates to join a collaborative project between the groups of Prof. Ashok Ajoy (UC Berkeley/LBNL), Dr. Kevin Wilson (LBNL) and Prof. David Limmer (UC Berkeley/LBNL). This project is funded by the Keck Foundation and aims to develop new techniques and approaches for understanding chemical reactions under micro-scale confinement as detailed below.
Chemical reactions in micron-scale compartments, including droplets, films, and emulsions, are observed to proceed faster than the same reactions in macroscopic beakers. Still unknown, however, is the mechanism of micro-confinement’s substantial effects on the kinetics and equilibria of reactions, including those within biological cells. Insight into the contributing factors will have far-reaching fundamental and technological implications, but unraveling their mechanisms and interrelations requires an in-situ chemical probe deployable within microdroplets and capable of reporting on molecules therein with high specificity. We will develop such a probe using a completely re-imagined form of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, designed to provide high-resolution chemical information, on multiple analytes simultaneously, at micron length scales. Current NMR methods and instrumentation are restricted to macroscopic samples, preventing studies on scales of 10 µm or less, and precluding their use on vast array of problems. Our approach will exploit the recent revelation that highly coherent hyperpolarized 13C nuclear spins in nanodiamonds can serve as quantum sensors whose own NMR output relays other vanishingly weak NMR signals from surrounding analytes, with fine spatial resolution set by the particle size. We will use these NMR chemical probes to uncover the origins of reaction acceleration under micro-confinement for a general class of condensation reactions that includes peptide bond formation. This advance will introduce novel deployable chemical imaging probes, enabling diverse applications that harness accelerated chemistry in microdroplet environments.
Desired skills: Strong background in chemical kinetics, spectroscopy, instrumentation development, and microfluidics. This position requires solid experience and training in experimental physical chemistry and a Ph.D. in Chemistry or a related field of study. Additional skills include experience in working in a research team environment; good oral and written communications; interpersonal skills; initiative; the ability to collaborate effectively in teams; creative/innovative thinking; and a demonstrated track record of publications.
Interested applicants should send their CV (and names of three professional references) via email to Kevin Wilson (krwilson@lbl.gov) and Ashok Ajoy (ashokaj@berkeley.edu)
