PhD Position: Environmental Chemistry/Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry 1585 views

The University of Basel invites applications for a PhD position as part of a project investigating stable isotope fractionation of molecular oxygen during enzymatic and abiotic redox reactions relevant to aquatic biogeochemistry and pollutant dynamics for the Stable Isotope and Aquatic Biogeochemistry Research Group at the Department of Environmental Sciences.

About the position:
  • The PhD project will involve extensive laboratory work with the use of stable isotope mass spectrometry methods (IRMS, GC-IRMS) to determine reaction-specific isotope fractionation during oxygen consumption experiments, which will be used to improve mechanistic understanding of the magnitude and variability of oxygen stable isotope fractionation and evaluate the potential of oxygen isotope analysis as a tool to study redox reactions of natural or anthropogenic organic compounds.
  • Starting date will be 1st January 2020.
  • The PhD project will be part of a research project funded for 4 years by the Swiss National Science Foundation.

Requirements:

  • Applicant must be highly motivated with a master’s degree in Environmental Sciences, Geosciences, Chemistry, Biology, or a related discipline.
  • Applicant is expected to have a solid backĀ­ground and interest in environmental chemistry, isotope geochemistry, and pollutant dynamics.
  • Applicant must demonstrate the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
  • Applicant must possess good communication skills including fluency in English.

Applications:

Application to be submitted as a single PDF file to Dr. Sarah Pati (sarah.pati@unibas.ch) including:

  • Letter stating motivation, experience and skills
  • CV
  • Contact details of at least two references.
