Job Description

We are seeking an experienced specialist to work on a postdoctoral project focusing on biochar catalyzed degradation of halogenated pollutants.

The project involves developing and testing biochar-oxidant composites, assessing performance of optimized reaction systems, and comparing performance of optimized reaction system to existing remediation technologies.

The successful candidate will be responsible for laboratory experiments and field investigations, as well as teaching and other duties.

Project Overview:

The ARAGORN project is an EU soil mission project aimed at mitigating risks and restoring Europe's contaminated soils.

Objectives:

  1. Developing and testing biochar-oxidant composites for fast and full degradation of chlorinated compounds
  2. Assessing performance of optimized reaction systems at column scales with real contaminated soils and groundwater
  3. Comparing performance of optimized reaction system to existing remediation technologies

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • PhD degree in environmental chemistry, geochemistry, soil science, or related disciplines
  • Strong knowledge of interface and redox chemistry
  • Experience with physical and chemical analyses of soils
  • Use of advanced characterisation tools for material bulk and surface characterisation
  • Analytical chemical skills
  • Competences within data management, data processing and statistical analysis
  • Good interpersonal skills, experience with collaborative work in larger multinational teams
  • Excellent English writing and speaking abilities
