Postdoctoral Researcher Position on the Biodegradation of Synthetic Water-Soluble Polymers 80-100%
vor 1 Tag
Water-soluble and water-dispersible polymers (WS/DPs) are widely used in home care and cosmetic products and enter both engineered and natural environments. In a new joint initiative, researchers from Eawag and ETH Zürich combine expertise to advance a systematic understanding of WS/DP biodegradation and transformation in these receiving systems. In this project, we will collect, assess, and curate scientific literature on WS/DP biodegradability and abiotic/enzymatic transformation pathways, focusing on wastewater sludge, river/lake waters, and sediments. The curated data will be compiled into a structured database to ultimately support computational predictions and model development for WS/DP biodegradation prediction. The project will consolidate mechanistic knowledge, identify knowledge gaps, and provide recommendations for experimental design and reporting, in close collaboration with academic, industrial, and regulatory partners. The successful candidate will carry out the following, specific task: Identify data needs for QSAR, machine-learning, and pathway prediction, including material properties, test conditions, and inoculum characteristics. Review literature on WS/DP biodegradation in wastewater, aquatic environments, and soils and on abiotic and enzymatic transformation pathways. Extract, encode, and quality-assess biodegradation data, including mineralization rates, half-lives, rate constants, and metadata and
