You will be working on a research project that aims to identify risk drivers in mixtures of organic chemicals extracted from human and mammalian tissue

The Department of Effect-Directed Analysis is offering a Postdoctoral position

Student helper at CHS

Environmental persistence is an important driver for the risk of chemicals. Knowledge on key factors controlling the effectiveness and the long-term capacity of microbial ecosystems to degrade chemicals is, hence, of utmost importance.

We are looking for a highly motivated student with knowledge in organic analytical chemistry, interested in FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry.

The PhD project aims to systematically investigate the role of land-atmosphere feedback (essential variables) on the occurrence of extreme events (e.g., drought, heat wave) and their interactions with different ecosystems based on satellite observations, field data, and model simulations.

Within the PhD framework “MoDEV - Towards novel model-data fusion for understanding environmental variability in space and time from high-resolution remote sensing” we are seeking to appoint a highly motivated candidate for the PhD project on “Climate extremes in tropical ecosystems - an assessment through data and models”.

Within the PhD framework “MoDEV - Towards novel model-data fusion for understanding environmental variability in space and time from high-resolution remote sensing” we are seeking to appoint a highly motivated candidate for the PhD project “Remote Sensing of soil moisture dynamics”.

Within the PhD framework “MoDEV - Towards novel model-data fusion for understanding environmental variability in space and time from high-resolution remote sensing” we are seeking to appoint a highly motivated candidate (m/f/x) for the PhD project “Remote Sensing of Biodiversity”.

The Department of Lake research is offering at the earliest possible date (but not later than March 1st 2021) a Bachelor/MSc thesis topic. The aim of the study is to evaluate Wet Chemistry sensor measurements in different types of surface waters. ​

The aim is to investigate isotope effects during photolysis of chloromethanes (CH3Cl and CH3Br), which is the main degradation process in the stratosphere.

The aim of this master thesis is to compare three different methods (spontaneous contractions, photomotor response, locomotor response), which are particularly suitable for use in screening approaches, and to test whether a combination of these endpoints provides a greater significance. The concentration-response curves of suitable positive and negative substances will be compared, and the possible influence of morphological changes and compound uptake (toxicokinetics) on the observed effects will be investigated.
