Postdoctoral Position in Environmental Chemistry Research
Join a leading research team focused on water system contamination analysis.
Best for:Ideal for chemists with expertise in analytical techniques and a passion for environmental science.
Overview
This postdoctoral position at INRAE involves conducting research on environmental chemistry, specifically focusing on the analysis of contaminants in water systems. The successful candidate will work within the RiverLy Research Unit, contributing to innovative methodologies for understanding pollution in urban and industrial contexts. The role emphasizes the application and development of analytical techniques to assess sediment contamination, particularly concerning emerging micropollutants. Applicants are expected to have a strong background in chemistry and analytical methods, and to collaborate with interdisciplinary teams.
What you'll do
- Implement liquid chromatography coupled with non-targeted High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) for contaminant analysis.
- Develop targeted and non-targeted analytical methodologies for sediment samples.
- Assess the nature and extent of sediment contamination in urban and industrial river contexts.
- Collaborate with researchers from LABERCA-ONIRIS and LEHNA for data interpretation and result dissemination.
- Prepare samples for analysis and conduct chemo-informatic data treatment.
- Interpret data using relevant statistical tests and present findings in both written and oral formats.
Requirements
Degree required: PhD in Chemistry or Analytical Chemistry
Language: English; proficiency in French is also beneficial.
Instruction: English and French
Publications: Ability to synthesize and present results in scientific articles.
