About the project: Excavated rocks from underground construction represent a major waste stream in many densely populated regions. In Switzerland, uncontaminated excavated material must be reused to largest possible extent, for example for the restoration of littoral zones in lakes or the recultivation of gravel pits. However, rocks can contain naturally elevated levels of arsenic and other trace elements that necessitate an assessment of reuse-related risks to surface or groundwater resources. This project involves:

A field study on the geochemical dynamics of As and other trace elements in a lake during the deposition of excavated rocks for restoration purposes
Laboratory experiments on the release of As and other trace elements from excavated material as a function of its properties (composition, mineralogy, speciation, texture) and biogeochemical conditions
The work will include the use of state-of-the-art analytical techniques for the characterization of solutions, colloids, and solids. This applied biogeochemical research project should lead to new insights regarding the potential for trace element leaching from excavated rocks under different scenarios that are of direct relevance and interest to practice.
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in environmental (bio)geochemistry, trace element geochemistry and/or environmental geology. Candidates should hold a PhD in environmental or Earth sciences or similar. Fieldwork experience, an interest in coupling biogeochemical and physical processes and in applied research, and experimental and analytical skills are highly desirable. The successful candidate should have excellent problem-solving skills, be adept at working independently and collaboratively, and have a proven publication record. Fluency in German is of great advantage The project offers the opportunity to collaborate with other research groups at Eawag and other institutions and to engage in collaboration and exchange with stakeholders from practice.
Workplace: The main workplace will be at Eawag Dübendorf (near Zürich); with regular stays at Eawag Kastanienbaum (near Lucerne).
