Il y a 2 mois

Mol, Belgique VITO Temps plein

The characterization of micro
- and nanoplastics represents a new analytical growth pillar embedded within the Specialized Organic and Inorganic Analysis Laboratory (team GOAL). The goal of this project is to open up new frontiers regarding characterization of non-metallic micro
- and nanoparticles (1nm-20µm). The achievement of these goals will require a wide set of complementary tools such as analytical and instrumental chemistry, physics and nanometrology. The laboratory has a wide experience in developing R&D projects and can deploy a wide range of complementary analytical techniques. GOAL hosts advanced analytical instrumentation including gas chromatograph (GC) linked to a high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometers (GC-TOF-MS) in addition to more standard GC/MS and LC/MSMS systems. Nanomaterial detection platform comprising size distribution (NTA, DLS, CPS), zeta potential, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, (single-particle) ICP-MS, ICP-AES, size exclusion chromatography, field flow fractionation coupled on-line or off-line with light scattering (multi-angle classical light scattering and dynamic light scattering), UV or fluorescence detectors and ICP-MS, S(T)EM, FTIR, µXRF, and (particle-free) test chambers.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher for **2 year postdoctoral position to work on nanoplastics analytics**.

**Responsibilities**:

- Development of new analytical methods for microplastics and nanoplastics analysis.
- Writing reports for related HE projects, preparation of scientific articles, and presentation of results in group meetings and conferences.
- Maintenance of laboratory equipment (e.g., Pyr-GC-MS)
- Complete documentation of research results.
- Exceptional academic writing, organizational, and time management skills.
- Fluent in English, both written and spoken, with a strong ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly and effectively.
- A collaborative team player, adept at working within interdisciplinary settings to establish clear priorities while managing multiple timelines and objectives.
- Programming languages such as Matlab and Python, and skilled in statistical analysis using tools like SPSS and R, are add on.

**Offer**
- A competitive salary package.
