hela Sverige Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral programme in Chemistry (alternatively Chemistry with specialization in environmental science), concluding with a licentiate degree.
The doctoral study is positioned at the interdisciplinary Man-Technology-Environment Research Centre (MTM) at Örebro University (
http://www.oru.se/mtm), which conducts state of the art applied research to advance knowledge on the fate and risks of potentially harmful chemicals to humans and the environment. The MTM Research Centre has an excellent infrastructure for biological and chemical research, including high end mass spectrometers such as high-resolution LC- and GC-qToF, GC-orbitrap, and several low-resolution LC-MS/MS and GC-MS systems. We also have specialized instruments such as supercritical fluid chromatograph, combustion-ion chromatograph (CIC) to measure organic halogens, and LC- and GC-fractionators.
Project description
The doctoral studies will be conducted in a project starting autumn 2021, that studies per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from household and industrial waste and waste management with the aim to advance the scientific understanding of circulating PFAS and bring new knowledge into waste treatment development to provide for a non-toxic environment and circular economy. Specific tasks included in the project are i) setting up field work and sampling at waste management sites, ii) development of novel methodologies for characterization of total PFAS using organic fluorine measurement in combination with non-target screening; and iii) produce data on leakage and fate of total PFAS.
The successful candidate has demonstrated knowledge in organic chemistry and analytical chemistry. Knowledge in environmental chemistry and mass spectrometry (MS) is an advantage. Previous experiences in chemometrics, environmental chemistry laboratory work, and practical work using LC-MS/MS, high resolution MS, as well as working in an interdisciplinary research environment are valuable merits.
