Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment
The Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment (www.slu.se/aquatic-sciences) is a competence centre for applied environmental science, with a national responsibility for assessing the condition of Swedish surface waters with respect to water chemistry, pollution and aquatic biota. The department has some 100 employees. The research focuses on geochemical and hydrological processes, aquatic ecology and biodiversity, as well as on aquatic ecotoxicology and environmental chemistry. The department is part of a Soil-Water-Environment cluster, a recently established competence center for landscape-level processes that also includes the Departments of 'Soil and Environment' and 'Energy and Technology'. The breadth of expertise among the 300 members in combination with a well-equipped infrastructure creates a unique platform for high quality research as well as environmental monitoring and assessment.

Duties:
Research area: The successful candidate will investigate removal efficiencies of organic micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, using various drinking water and wastewater treatment techniques. Project components include: (i) evaluate the influence of chemical structure/reactivity on removal efficiencies of organic micropollutants in experimental and case studies, and (ii) devlop and apply strategies for identification of transformation products during oxidation treatment (e.g. UV, ozonation) of drinking water and wastewater using advanced mass-spectrometry including LC-MS/MS and high resolution MS (HRMS).

The researcher is expected to initiate, plan and lead research, write scientific articles and supervise graduate students.

Qualifications:
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in environmental chemistry, analytical chemistry or equivalent. Strong skills in analytical chemistry and proficiency in English (spoken and written) is required. Knowledge of and interest in experimental work, mass spectrometry, pharmaceuticals, photochemistry, scientific writing and working in an interdisciplinary environment are valuable merits. The position is full-time for a period of two years, starting as soon as possible with a possibility of prolongation of one year.

The application should be written in English. The following documents should be included: (1) CV including a publication list, (2) PhD diploma, (3) a description of previous research, other activities of relevance for the position, and a description of specific research interests (maximum three pages), (4) names and addresses of at least two persons able to provide references for the candidate, and (5) ideally also a written reference letter from at least one referee.
