Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment
The Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment (www.slu.se/aquatic-sciences) is working with 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 130 employees. The research focuses on geochemical and hydrological processes, aquatic ecology and biodiversity, as well as on environmental chemistry and aquatic ecotoxicology. The department is part of a Soil-Water-Environment cluster, a competence centre 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:
We are seeking for a postdoc, who will work on in situ methods removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in groundwater using air bubbling/fractionation and combination with other innovative treatment technologies. The experiments will be performed in laboratory- and pilot-scale in the field. The analysis of PFAS will be performed using LC-MS/MS.

The duties also include collaboration with engineers, environmental sampling, extraction of aqueous environmental samples, PFAS analysis using LC-MS/MS, processing of large data sets, data analysis, statistical evaluation and scientific manuscript writing in English.

You will work in an international, interdisciplinary team consisting of several stakeholders including Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) and Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI) and senior researchers and PhD students at SLU (https://www.slu.se/en/ew-cv/lutz-ahrens).

Qualifications:
Applicants should hold a PhD degree in environmental chemistry or engineering, or equivalent. Specialisation towards water technologies and experience with analyses of organic micropollutants such as PFAS using LC-MS/MS are valuable merits. Data processing skills using statistical computing and graphics, e.g. R, MATLAB, etc., are of merits too. Emphasis is also placed on personal characteristics such as communication skills, interpersonal skills, analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently. Proficiency in English (both spoken and written) is required.

As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is three years old at most.
