Postdoc Position in Environmental

Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**Postdoc position in Environmental Biogeochemistry/Soil Science to study the mobilization and (bio)chemical transformation of antimony**
**100%**:
Tasks

We are looking for a motivated scientist who is interested in being part of our on-going project titled “Release, biomethylation and biovolatilisation of antimony in soils. Drivers, mechanisms, and global environmental implications.” This project is financed through an SNSF Project funding awarded to Prof. Adrien Mestrot and takes place at the Institute of Geography.
Due to its extensive industrial use, antimony, a naturally occurring element, has become a pollutant of environmental concern. Despite the rapid growth in its use, antimony has been much less studied than other trace element such as arsenic or mercury and very little is known about its biogeochemical cycle. Flooded environments, likely to become more common due to the rapid climate changes, are key environments in the cycle of antimony affecting its storage and remobilization. In addition, antimony is impacted by biological mechanisms taking place in soils such as methylation and volatilization, modifying its physicochemical properties and consequently its toxicity and mobility in the environment.

- Improve the analytical techniques used in the lab, adapt existing techniques, and/or develop new ones for the chemical speciation of antimony.
- Sample and perform field measurements of antimony-polluted shooting ranges in Switzerland, rice paddies in China and a river catchment and a floodplain in Australia.
- Perform lab experiments that allow to unravel the methylation and volatilisation of antimony in the environment.

The project will take full advantage of the state-of-the-art analytical facilities present at our Institute (e.g. clean room, HPLC-ICP-MS (single quadrupole and triple quadrupole), HPLC-ESI- MS, incubation facilities).

**Requirements**:
We offer

The salary is according to SNSF and University of Bern guidelines, with funding guaranteed for 2 years starting September 1st.
