Job Description

A postdoctoral researcher position is available at Aarhus University, Department of Environmental Science, to work on projects related to Arctic pollution with organic contaminants. The successful candidate will be part of an established team that studies chemical pollution in the Arctic, focusing on the monitoring of POPs in biota and air, as well as the screening for CEACs in various matrices. The postdoctoral researcher is expected to support this work and relevant expansions, including analyses in new matrices, modeling approaches for the identification of CEACs, connections to plastic pollution, and steps towards effect-directed analyses.

The chemical analyses will be based on several instrumental techniques, including GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, HPLC-MS/MS, and others. The institute has recently acquired a Combustion-Ion Chromatograph for Total PFAS analysis. The laboratory is accredited and has a strong focus on QA/QC. The candidate is expected to actively pursue the publication of results in the scientific literature and their presentations at relevant conferences.

The successful candidate will be part of a team that includes Prof. Katrin Vorkamp and other members of the group. The candidate may be involved in the supervision of students or guest researchers and participate in outreach activities, such as the dissemination of the work to Danish authorities, European agencies, and interested groups.

The candidate must hold a Ph.D. degree in (analytical or environmental) chemistry or a closely related discipline. The successful candidate should have experience with the chemical analysis of environmental contaminants at trace level, experience with QA/QC of chemical analyses, be familiar with Arctic pollution issues, and be able to work as part of a team.

It will be an advantage if the candidate is familiar with complex data analysis, willing to undertake field work in the Arctic, has experience with citizen science-projects, interested in contributing to non-target screening studies, brings new ideas to the research group, and speaks a Nordic language.

The department offers high-quality research in a strong international network, state-of-the-art research infrastructure, laboratories, and access to shared equipment. The department also provides possibilities for scientific and personal development and career building, an interdisciplinary environment with many national and international collaborators, and a research group with close working relationships and mutual support.
