"Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Chemistry"

Job Description

We are seeking a highly qualified postdoctoral researcher to join our team in the field of environmental chemistry. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in conducting research projects aimed at understanding and mitigating contemporary environmental issues. These environmental challenges encompass the management of solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes, leading to air and water pollution. Finding treatment solutions for these wastes or alternatives to reduce the primary sources of these problems is crucial. Specifically, this position will involve exploring various aspects of environmental chemistry and their application in specific research projects.

Responsibilities:

• The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for conducting detailed studies on solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes to understand their composition, origin, and environmental impact.
• The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to the research on waste treatment solutions, including the development of recycling technologies, chemical remediation, and carbon sequestration.
• The candidate will assess the environmental impact of various waste treatment solutions using life cycle analysis and risk assessment techniques.
• The postdoctoral researcher will collaborate with external partners, such as industrials, to develop and implement effective and sustainable waste management solutions.

Candidate Criteria

• A Ph.D. in environmental chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related field.
• Significant experience in research on waste management and air and water pollution.
• Expertise in the use of environmental analysis tools and modeling, e.g., quantitative analyses of solid, liquid and gaseous samples.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team, with excellent communication skills.
• Willingness to contribute to cutting-edge scientific research to address contemporary environmental challenges.
• Experience in radiochemistry & radio-nucleides will be appreciated.

Application and Selection:

The application folder must contain:

• Detailed CV,
• Cover letter along with a synthetic presentation of the background, research works, projects and activities, publications, key achievements,
• Research and teaching plans, entrepreneurial ideas and concepts if any, and services to UM6P community: max 3-4 pages,
• 3 reference letters.
