https://www.slu.se/institutions/molekylara-vetenskaper/Duties:
The researcher will be involved in the ERA-MIN project MetRecycle, devoted to development of sustainable recycling approaches to electric and electronic materials. The work will involve development of techniques for chemical leaching of target metals and for handling and treatment of complex solutions containing both mixture of target metals and undesired elements. The researcher will synthesize hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructured adsorbents with specific affinity to target elements with subsequent implementation of developed techniques on a lab scale and developing flow sheets for future larger scale production.
Qualifications:
The applicant should have PhD in chemistry or geology awarded within the last 5 years. Experience with developing methodology for uptake, separation and purification of rare earth elements or transition elements is a merit as well as good knowledge of electron microscopy, spectrophotometric analysis and statistical data treatment.
A strong publication record (in relation to the time since dissertation) is a merit. The application must contain: i) a summary of the research experience, expectation on the position and future plans (max 1 page), ii) CV and iii) names of two reference persons.
