Background
The MTM research centre at Örebro University focuses on applied research on chemical compounds of different origin in the environment and their relations to sustainable development. One project focuses on per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food production near contaminated areas. PFAS are man-made chemicals and have been found in the environment. Some studies have shown some health effects upon exposure to these substances. In this project, concentrations of PFAS will be measured in various food items where these areas are connected to PFAS contamination.
Duties and responsibilities
The laboratory assistant will support the analysis of PFAS in food samples within the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency project. The work includes sample extraction, separation, identification and quantification of the target compounds including necessary QA/QC steps and documentation of the results.
Qualifications
The candidate shall have a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry or equivalent degree and be very familiar with the steps of chemical analysis of PFAS at trace levels using LC/MS-MS method. Experience in sample preparation with solid and liquid samples especially with food would be a merit. Fluency in English is required.
Great importance will be attached to your personal qualities; the ability to work independently and engage with other people in a way that instils confidence; and a good track-record when it comes to cooperation.
We expect you to be flexible and open to change and that you take a quality-driven and responsible approach to your duties.
