Postdoctoral researcher

Vor 2 Tagen


Dübendorf, Schweiz eawag Vollzeit
About the position: This position is part of a research project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) involving 2 PhD students and 1 postdoctoral researcher that collaborate with multiple research groups at Eawag and ETH Zurich. The project aims to study trace element dynamics (Tl, As, Cu, Pb, Cd) in periodically waterlogged soils under current and future climatic conditions. The two PhD students focus on seasonal variations in soil reduction upon flooding and effects on trace elements, each studying selected trace elements and mobilization pathways. The postdoctoral project aims to develop a novel microfluidic setup for time-resolved in-situ synchrotron X-ray microspectroscopy studies on natural soil material to unravel effects of microscale heterogeneities in soils on redox-driven speciation changes of Fe, Mn and trace elements. The postdoctoral researcher is also expected to support the PhD students with respect to synchrotron analyses and to help with project management. 

We offer a postdoctoral position that provides a high level of independence and the opportunity to develop and pursue your own ideas and interests within a larger research project. State-of-the-art infrastructure for (bio)geochemical studies is available at Eawag, including facilities for advanced trace element analyses and microfluidic experiments. A significant part of the synchrotron X-ray analyses can be conducted in collaboration with a European synchrotron facility. The postdoctoral researcher will benefit from the connection to the research of two 2 PhD students and will have opportunities to develop further collaborations within Eawag and with external partners. Depending on interests, an engagement in teaching at ETH Zurich is possible. Funding for this position is secured for 3 years, with the possibility of extension pending further funding. 
We are looking for  a highly motivated and skilled postdoctoral researcher with expertise in molecular environmental (bio)geochemistry and synchrotron X-ray (micro)spectroscopy or related spectroscopic or imaging techniques. Candidates should hold a PhD degree in environmental sciences, Earth sciences or a similar field. A strong interest in method development and regular visits to synchrotron facilities, as well as outstanding experimental, analytical, programming and data processing skills, are essential. The successful candidate should have excellent organizational and problem-solving skills, be adept at working independently and collaboratively, be well-versed in oral and written communication of their results and have a solid publication record. Prior experience in acquiring synchrotron beamtime through competitive proposal schemes is welcome. 
Workplace: Eawag Dübendorf (near Zürich).
