2 weeks ago


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

At Aarhus Universitet (AU), our Department of Environmental Science is dedicated to understanding the complex relationships between human activities and the environment. We are currently seeking a talented Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Chemistry to join our team.

The successful candidate will be part of an established team that focuses on chemical pollution in the Arctic region. Our ongoing research includes monitoring persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and chemicals of emerging concern in various matrices, using advanced analytical techniques. The postdoctoral researcher will support this work and contribute to new developments, such as analyzing new matrices, developing modeling approaches, and investigating connections to plastic pollution.

We employ a range of instrumental techniques, including GC-MS, GC-MS/MS, HPLC-MS/MS, and more. Our laboratory is accredited and maintains a strong focus on quality assurance and control. While some fieldwork may be involved, we prioritize laboratory-based research.

This position is part of the Horizon Europe project ArcSolution, focusing on Arctic pollution from a one-health perspective. The successful candidate will collaborate with Prof. Katrin Vorkamp and contribute to extending our group's activities in this field. We expect the researcher to publish results in scientific literature, present at conferences, and participate in outreach activities.

Requirements
  • Ph.D. degree in chemistry or a related field
  • Experience with chemical analysis of environmental contaminants at trace levels
  • Knowledge of QA/QC procedures
  • Familiarity with Arctic pollution issues
  • Able to work as part of a team
What We Offer
  • State-of-the-art research infrastructure and equipment
