 Postdoctoral Fellow in Environmental Chemistry focused on methodology for characterization and identification of total exposure in wildlife
Ref. No. SU FV-2769-17, Closing date: 16/10/2017
 
September 6, 2017 | by Stella Papadopoulou
Stockholm University is a leading European university and one of the world’s top 100 institutions of higher education and research. Stockholm University has more than 60,000 students and 5,000 staff. In the field of chemistry, it is Sweden’s best-placed institution in international rankings; in the field of environmental science, Stockholm University is among the top-ranked institutions in the world.
The Department of Environmental Science and Analytical Chemistry does research spanning over the fields of analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology, atmospheric science, and biogeochemistry. Much of this research has a strong base in chemistry and the department, with ~200 employees, has modern instrumental and laboratory infrastructure for various types of chemical analysis and measurement.
 
Project description
Animals and humans are exposed to a cocktail of chemical substances. These include anthropogenic chemicals and their metabolites, endogenous substances, as well as natural products. The knowledge about the total exposure to such chemical compounds with a toxic potential is insufficient. Characterization of exposure to environmental contamination in wildlife and fish has so far largely been focused on persistent and bioaccumulating contaminants. Substances that are ionizable, polar and reactive are less investigated and reliable methodology for chemical analysis in biological samples needs to be developed. The ultimate aim of the project is to establish analytical methodology to characterize a larger fraction of total exposure in vivo, including ionizable and reactive substances. The project will be concentrated on studies of wildlife and fish from the Baltic Sea Region.
 
Main responsibilities
The major objective is to develop methods for isolation, clean-up, and mass spectrometric analysis for identification and quantification of potentially toxic substances in biological samples. Primarily this concerns ionizable and reactive contaminants. The possibilities to explore effect-directed analysis in collaboration with ecotoxicologists should be considered.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will be supervised by Assoc. Prof. Lillemor Asplund and Prof. Margareta Törnqvist in the Exposure and Effect Unit. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be expected to plan, conduct, interpret and communicate the research and results.
 
Qualification requirements
Postdoctoral positions are appointed primarily for purposes of research. Applicants are expected to hold a Swedish doctoral degree or an equivalent degree from another country.
 
Assessment criteria
The degree should have been completed no more than three years before the deadline for applications. An older degree may be acceptable under special circumstances, which may involve sick leave, parental leave, clinical attachment, elected positions in trade unions, or similar.
 
Primary assessment criteria: Competence in environmental chemistry, organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry; scientific excellence with proven research experience of method development for analysis of contaminants in biological samples and with experience of mass spectrometry. A good command of English is required.
 
Terms of employment
The position involves full-time employment for a maximum of two years, with the possibility of extension under special circumstances. Start date 2017-11-16 or as per agreement.
 
Stockholm University strives to be a workplace free from discrimination and with equal opportunities for all.
 
Application
 It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the job advertisement and that it is submitted before the deadline.
 
Please include the following information with your application
 
Your contact details and personal data
Your highest degree
Your language skills
Contact details for 2–3 references
and, in addition, please include the following documents
 
Cover letter
CV – degrees and other completed courses, work experience and a list of publications
