Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Analytical Chemistry

5 days ago


Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

A postdoctoral researcher position is available at Aarhus University's Department of Environmental Science, focusing on environmental analytical chemistry. The role involves working in the field of Arctic pollution with organic contaminants, including persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and chemicals of emerging Arctic concern (CEACs).

You will be part of an established team studying chemical pollution in the Arctic, monitoring POPs in biota and air as well as screening for CEACs in various matrices using target analyses and suspect/non-target screening techniques. Your responsibilities will include supporting ongoing work and relevant expansions, such as analyzing new matrices, modeling approaches for CEAC identification, connections to plastic pollution, effect-directed analyses, studies on environmental occurrence and human exposure, or other new directions.

The chemical analyses are based on several instrumental techniques (GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, HPLC-MS/MS, GC-Orbitrap-HRMS, HPLC-Orbitrap-HRMS, HPLC-QToF-HRMS etc.). The institute has a strong focus on quality assurance and control (QA/QC), and you may be required to undertake some fieldwork in the Arctic, subject to projects and funding.

You will also contribute to Prof. Katrin Vorkamp's work on chemical pollution in the ArcSolution project, focusing on per- and polyfluorinated alkylsubstances (PFAS) and plastic additives. Additionally, you will follow developments in Arctic pollution beyond this project and extend the group's activities in this field under Katrin Vorkamp's guidance.

The successful candidate will actively pursue publication of results in scientific literature and present them at relevant conferences. You will collaborate closely with other members of Katrin Vorkamp's group and contribute to overall progress in the research group. You may also be involved in supervising students or guest researchers, participating in outreach activities, and disseminating work to Danish authorities, European agencies, and interested groups.
