Postdoc in environmental chemistry and microbiology

at  Aarhus Universitet

Are you interested in analysis of organic micropollutants and TotalRNA in environmental samples? Can you contribute to the development of the projects Path4Med and Villum Experiment focused on the environmental fate of novel antibiotics? Then the Department of Environmental Science invites you to apply for a 2 year postdoc position, with possibility for extension.

JOB DESCRIPTION

You will be part of a research environment focusing on monitoring of trace organic micropollutants, DNA-based indicators, and application of nature-based solutions to address water related challenges. You will be contributing to two research projects. One, the project “Environmental
Fate of Novel Antibiotics” funded by Villum Foundation where you will be supporting the development of an analytical method to measure novel antibiotics in water samples. The other, the Horizon Europe project “Demonstrating innovative pathways addressing water and soil pollution in the Mediterranean Agro-Hydro-System (Path4Med)” where you will be leading the analysis of organic micropollutants and RNA-based indicators in samples from the different demosites of the project.
We expect that you will be an important part of the research environment and that you will contribute positively to the social working environment. We also expect that you will report research results in high-impact scientific journals.
