PhD position in geochemistry of arsenic groundwater contamination in Vietnam

**This project is aimed**
**at** understanding and studying dynamic changes in groundwater arsenic contamination patterns in the Red River and Mekong River Deltas in Vietnam, by combining hydrogeology, geochemistry, remote sensing and data science.

Our group focuses on understanding the biogeochemical cycling and environmental distribution of health-relevant trace elements. The open PhD position is part of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) funded Sinergia project “DeltAs - Evaluating delta-wide changes in geogenic arsenic (As) contamination under anthropogenic pressures: An integrated approach to assess groundwater vulnerability in Vietnam”. The project is a joint multidisciplinary effort from Swiss scientists at ETH-Zurich (L. Winkel, A. Nghiem), Eawag (M. Berg), University of Neuchâtel (P. Renard), and the University of Zurich (UZH) (A. Damm-Reiser), and several partners in Vietnam and the United States.

**We are looking for** a motivated person for the following tasks:

- Organization of and active participation in field campaigns in Vietnam
- collecting groundwater and sediment samples in the field
- Designing and carrying out lab experiments
- Conducting (geo)chemical analyses
- Exploring and challenging existing hypotheses on arsenic contamination

In addition, you will have opportunities to investigate your own creative ideas within the framework of the project. Throughout the project you will closely collaborate with other PhD students and postdocs within the DeltAs project and with partners in Vietnam and in the US. Excellent communication and knowledge transfer to the DeltAs team members is therefore critical. Another essential aspect of your job involves writing up your results for publication in peer-reviewed journals and communicating your results to various audiences, including project partners and presenting your work at international conferences. Furthermore, it is expected that you will take part in some teaching activities at ETH Zurich and help with organizing DeltAs project workshops in Switzerland and Vietnam.

The employment will be contracted according to standard regulations at ETH (funding secured for 4 years). The PhD degree will be awarded by ETH Zurich in the department of Environmental Systems Science (USYS). The project will start in February 2024 or upon mutual agreement.

**Eawag is** a modern employer and offers an excellent working environment where staff can contribute their strengths, experience and ways of thinking. We promote gender equality and are committed to staff diversity and inclusion. The compatibility of career and family is of central importance to us.
