Postdoctoral Fellow: Thermal Waste Treatment (Analytical Chemistry) 933 views

Paul Scherrer Institut is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow for its SNF project “Towards Understanding the Fate of Nano-Objects in Thermal Waste Treatment Processes: Development of Analytical Methods for Element & Particle-Size Analysis of Aerosols and Suspensions (EPSA-NanoWaste). The project is Analytical methods for suspensions using the hyphenated technique single particle ICP-MS.

Tasks:
  • Investigation of TWT (Thermal Waste Treatment) model samples by the SMPS-ICP-MS technique for dry aerosols in order to study the thermally generated nano-objects containing metal species and the relationship between their chemical composition and their particle size distribution
  • Study of the formation of secondary nano-objects containing metal species during a TWT process
  • Characterization of nano-objects in TWT solid residues, effluent and liquid-quenched samples from a TWT plant/process using SMPS-ICPMS and sp-ICPMS
  • Using and adapting analytical methods for process gas analysis
  • Performing standard analyses of solids and liquids
  • Supporting pilot scale measurement campaigns (in house and in the field)
  • Supporting lectures and/or excursions
  • Supervision of Master and PhD students

Requirements:

  • PhD degree in Analytical Chemistry or in a related subject
  • Good knowledge of English, knowledge of German and/or French is an advantage
  • Teamplayer
  • Experience in elemental analysis and/or particle measurements would be advantageous
  • Good knowledge in analytical chemistry and/or aerosol science is considered as a plus

Duration: limited to 2-3 years

Applications:

Submit application online including:

  • List of publications
  • Addresses of referees
  • index no. 5103-00
