at the Department of Environmental Geosciences
Nanogeoscience Group, Frank von der Kammer
Topics are the development of quantitative analytical methods for engineered nanoparticles in food and environmental samples. Both positions are tightly embedded into two major European research projects (FP7 Nanolyse & Marina) and interaction with international colleagues is not only possible but mandatory.
We offer a highly motivated and collaborative international group with outstanding experience in nanoparticles analysis and in environmental fate and behaviour of nanoparticles. We also provide a world-class laboratory infrastructure. During your work in these projects you will receive one of the best possible trainings in the operation of Field-Flow Fractionation.
We expect a self-motivated and independently working candidate with a decent background in nanoparticle chemistry, technology and analysis. Ideally you have already worked with one or more of the following techniques: FFF, SEM, TEM, ICP-MS, SEC, HPLC and light scattering. Candidates should be familiar with basics of colloid and interface sciences and the traditional analytical chemistry of water, soil and sediments.
Good communication skills are of course a plus.
Our laboratory language is English.
