PhD Candidate Adsorbent Materials for PFAS Analysis 100 %
=========================================================
Develop innovative materials to tackle one of today's most pressing environmental challenges and contribute to improved PFAS monitoring in water and environmental samples.
PhD Candidate Adsorbent Materials for PFAS Analysis 100 %
=========================================================
**School:**
Life Sciences und Facility Management
**Starting date:**
Upon agreement. Fixed\-term position (4 years).
**Your role**
As part of this interdisciplinary PhD project, you will develop novel adsorbent materials for the selective enrichment of per\- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and evaluate their application in advanced analytical workflows.
You will:
* Design, synthesize and characterize innovative fluorophilic adsorbent materials.
* Investigate adsorption mechanisms and structure\-property relationships governing PFAS selectivity.
* Evaluate adsorption capacity, selectivity and mass\-transfer characteristics of newly developed materials.
* Integrate and test novel adsorbents in sample preparation workflows for combustion ion chromatography.
* Compare developed materials with commercially available solutions and assess their performance in environmental samples.
* Publish your findings in international peer\-reviewed journals and present your research at scientific conferences.
* Collaborate with academic and industrial partners within the project.
**Your profile**
You hold a Master's degree in Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Materials Science, Polymer Science, Environmental Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or a related field and are motivated to contribute to innovative environmental research.
You also bring:
* A strong interest in materials development, adsorption processes and analytical chemistry.
* Enthusiasm for experimental laboratory work and scientific problem solving.
* The ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative international research team.
* Excellent written and spoken English skills.
Experience in polymer synthesis, materials characterization, chromatography or environmental analysis is welcome but not essential.
Applications should include a motivation letter, a detailed CV, copies of BSc and MSc transcripts and degree certificates, and the contact details of two references.
