Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time
Scientific Challenge: Understanding and quantifying risk and remediation options for widespread threats to our groundwater resources is crucial. DTU Sustain offers a unique opportunity to contribute to this critical area of research.

The project focuses on investigating fate, transport behavior, and remediation options of PFAS contamination in porous and fractured media. This involves a combination of laboratory and field work, data analyses, and numerical modeling to shed light on the natural and enhanced attenuation of PFAS in subsurface environments.

As a PhD researcher, you will be responsible for planning, carrying out, and evaluating laboratory and field measurements and experiments. You will also determine and evaluate controlling factors for PFAS remediation by assessing experimental, modeling, and field data. Additionally, you will create and apply numerical models and digital tools to describe PFAS fate and transport under unsaturated and saturated conditions.

Your responsibilities will also include collaborating with consultancy, public authorities, and international partners on PFAS activities. To succeed in this role, you will need a good understanding of groundwater flow and solute transport processes, including knowledge of attenuation processes, hydrogeology, and hydrogeochemistry. Experience with experimental work and modeling skills (preferably with Comsol Multiphysics) are also essential. Good analytical thinking and proficiency in English and Danish, both written and spoken, are required.

You will be supervised by Associate Professor Klaus Mosthaf and co-supervised by Prof. Poul L. Bjerg and Senior Researcher Annika Fjordbøge. As a PhD student, you will be involved in teaching activities, co-supervise BSc and MSc student projects, and disseminate results at national and international conferences.
