Post‑Doctoral Researcher – Environmental Chemistry

Sorbonne Université (SU), Paris – 18 months – Starting before the end of December 2018.

We are seeking a motivated and qualified Post‑Doctoral researcher in environmental chemistry for performing key laboratory experiments on innovative catalytic reactions for degrading persistent organic pollutants. The project focuses on the analysis of degradation kinetics of high‑priority pollutants at the surface of geo‑inspired nanoparticles using in‑situ FTIR‑ATR at the solid–liquid interface. Molecular‑level properties of the nano‑substrates will also be monitored using synchrotron‑based XAS and WAXS‑PDF. Thanks to our recent discovery of a new degradation pathway without strong oxidizing agents, this project will represent an essential step forward in the design of future environmentally‑friendly processes for soil and water cleaning.

Qualifications

• PhD degree in Geochemistry, Catalysis, Material...
