Örebro University is currently offering research study opportunities on the doctoral programme in chemistry. For the successful candidate, the programme will conclude with the award of the Degree of Licentiate in Chemistry. The start date of the programme is in the spring of 2020.

The PhD candidate will participate in a project with a focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) to develop strategies for comprehensive characterization of PFAS in combination with cost-effective techniques for remediation of contaminated water. Specific tasks include i) developing and refining analytical methods to measure novel and previously overlooked PFAS in contaminated water; ii) conducting lab-scale experiments and pilot scale study to evaluate selected remediation techniques for removing PFAS in water; and iii) evaluation of ways of handling PFAS waste from the remediation techniques. The successful candidate should demonstrate knowledge in organic analytical chemistry and have interest in mass spectrometric analysis and multivariate statistics. Experience with sample preparation, sorption batch experiment, total oxidizable precursor (TOP) assay or relevant oxidation process, thermolysis experiment, SFC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, LC-Q-TOF, and combustion ion chromatography analyses, as well as working in an interdisciplinary research environment and holding a valid Swedish or EU/EEA driving licence are valuable merits.
