About the Project:
  • The objective of this project is to estimate the natural fraction of that process, i.e. the pre-anthropogenic concentration range or P in surface water of Flanders. In addition, this project wants to quantify the role of human development on the current P concentration range.

Requirements:

  • Candidate must be an enthusiastic PhD student to work in an FWO collaborative project between soil scientists and archaeologists on the identification of pristine (natural, pre-anthropogenic) backgrounds.
  • Candidate must hold an M.Sc degree (at the start of the contract) that ensures appropriate knowledge in analytical and environmental chemistry and earth sciences.
  • Experience in field sampling, working with GIS software and geochemical speciation programs is not necessary but can be helpful.
  • Applicant must possess excellent written and spoken English skills.

Applications:

The application material should include:

  • Letter of motivation
  • CV
