Your personal sphere of play:

Your future position will be based at the Department of Environmental Geosciences (EDGE), a center of cutting-edge research focused on the fundamental processes that govern the natural environment and the effects of human activity. At EDGE, researchers integrate field observations with experimental studies, bridging molecular-level interactions at environmental interfaces with complex, large-scale environmental dynamics through quantitative modeling. 

EDGE actively addresses the challenges posed by both established and emerging pollutants. The department is committed to advancing our understanding of their impacts on soils, groundwater, and surface waters through process-oriented and mechanistic research approaches. With this position, we specifically aim to address the globally important fate of metals and metalloids in complex environmental matrices, focusing on their speciation, bioavailability, and interfacial processes, using our unique state-of-the-art techniques available in the department, including single-particle time-of-flight mass spectrometry (spICP-TOFMS) and hyphenated LC-ICP-MS facilities. 

EDGE is part of the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS). Both staff and students value the multidisciplinary and international environment that defines both CeMESS and EDGE. Drawing on diverse expertise and backgrounds, our researchers explore the critical biotic and abiotic processes that shape human bodies, ecosystems, and the planet as a whole. Our work delivers essential insights into urgent global issues, spanning from human health to environmental sustainability. 

Your future tasks:

Active engagement in research, teaching, and administrative responsibilities, including: 

  • You develop an independent research profile in the fields of trace element analytics and speciation. 
  • You contribute to research projects and scientific studies on the environmental cycling of nano- and microparticles. 
  • You publish your findings in international journals and deliver academic lectures. 
  • You apply for research funding and secure third-party financial support.

  • Excellent command of English (C1 level or higher) 
  • Experience with LC-ICP-MS/MS and spICP-TOFMS for trace element analysis in environmental matrices 
  • Proficiency in sample preparation and preconcentration methods, including solid phase extraction and probe sonication and working with complex environmental matrices 
  • Experience in particle collection and characterization including field sampling, organic matter composition and isotope signatures 
  • Familiarity with mass spectrometry data sets, including multivariate statistics and data clustering 
  • Experience in research management and leading project staff 
  • IT skills, including programming (preferably Python) for data analysis and visualization 
  • Didactic skills and experience with e-learning platforms 

What we offer:

Work-life balance: Our employees enjoy flexible working hours (upon agreement).
