Post-doc position in development of analytical methodologies for the characterization of natural organic matter and microplastics in soil and water (SENSAAS Project)

The recruited Postdoc will be in charge of developing analytical methodologies for the characterization of natural organic matter and of microplastics in soil and water by Pyrolysis GC/MS, isotopic analysis, NMR relaxometry, LC-MS-MS….
This work will be conducted at the Biogeosciences laboratory (GISMO platform) and in collaboration with the PCAV group (Physico-chemistry of Food and Wine) of the PAM unit research (Food and Wine Science & Technology). An international collaboration with the ICA-CSIC unit in Madrid, Spain, could also be possible for molecular analysis.

The postdoc will be supervised by Olivier MATHIEU, Mathieu THEVENOT and Philippe AMIOTTE SUCHET in the Biogeosciences laboratory (SEDS group) at university of Burgundy Dijon, which is a multi-disciplinary unit research on present and past environmental systems and climate. 

– PhD in environmental chemistry / analytical chemistry or related field
 – practical experience in the chemical characterization of natural organic matter and/or microplastics in soil / sediment or water
– ability to conduct independent and organised work in an analytical research laboratory
– knowledge in the field of soil / water organic matter as well as molecular fingerprinting techniques will be appreciated
