We are looking for a highly motivated research assistant/ PhD student to support our team in advancing the scientific knowledge in digital soil mapping and spatial data analysis.

Subject: Analysing effects of chemicals on cellular models and microbial communities by global and targeted metabolomics and metabolomic flux analysis

Scientist position (m/f)

Develop and implement computational models for fractured and fracturing rocks accounting for multi-physical phenomena and apply them to laboratory experiments as well as field data from underground research laboratories.

We seek a motivated, innovative, broadly thinking scholar whose research focuses is on the quantitative analysis of resource-use driven human-environmental feedbacks on the global scale with sound underpinning through regional case studies. Research areas could include natural resource management, including questions surrounding biodiversity conservation, water, forests, energy, etc.), food systems, food security, subsistence and livelihoods, socio-economic material and energy flows; tele-connections in the global land system.

Postdoc Position (m/f): Earth System
Modelling - Multi-Scale Earth System Models

Postdoc: Earth System Modelling - development and application of an Earth system data assimilation framework

PhD (m/f)

The PhD project aims to contribute to the development of analytical techniques for characterization of nanomaterials in complex matrices such as biological test media using the outstanding infrastructure offered by the UFZ in Leipzig. The project is embedded in an EU project with 28 partners and the successful candidate will work within an international project and interdisciplinary environment.

Polymers have become increasingly important to our every day lives and contribute significantly in our economies. In this project, we work in an international consortium comprising academic and industrial partners to develop an eco-efficient and sustainable production route for high-end polymer precursors. In this context, we are looking for two team-players to work in an interdisciplinary research environment.

Polymers have become increasingly important to our every day lives and contribute significantly in our economies. Here targeted polymer building blocks are associated with critical environmental issues, such as generation of toxic waste, salts, and high energy consumption. In this project, we work in an international consortium comprising academic and industrial partners to develop an eco-efficient and sustainable production route for high-end polymer precursors. In this context, we are looking for two team-players to work in an interdisciplinary research environment.

For the new ERC-project CHEMO-RISK (Chemometers as novel tools for an integrative risk assessment framework of mixtures of pollutants), we offer a PhD position focusing on the development of a new non-invasive procedure to study human exposure to organic pollutants.

Non-invasive determination of the human exposure to mixtures of organic environmental pollutants

For the new ERC-project CHEMO-RISK (Chemometers as novel tools for an integrative risk assessment framework of mixtures of pollutants), we offer a PhD position focusing on the development of a new procedure to study internal exposure and effects of organic pollutants in seals.
