Research Opportunities within a Marie Curie European Industrial Doctorate (EID) Project
"Elucidating Sources and Pathways of Environmental Contamination with Brominated Persistent Organic Chemicals using Advanced Instrumental Tools"(ELUTE)
Early Stage Researcher (ESR) Positions
A total of 4 ESR positions will be available commencing 1st April 2014 in the framework of the FP7 Marie Curie European Industrial Doctorate (EID) Project "Elucidating Sources & Pathways of Environmental Contamination with Brominated Persistent Organic Chemicals using Advanced Instrumental Tools" (ELUTE). ESR appointments will be for 3 years and successful applicants would be expected to register for a PhD degree. While each ESR will be employed by the University of Birmingham, UK, they will each be seconded for 18 months to Thermo Fisher Scientific's POPs Centre of Excellence in Bremen, Germany and/or Food Safety Response Center in Dreieich Germany. ELUTE's main research goal is to further understanding of the environmental fate and behavior of brominated persistent organic chemicals and how best we may deploy recent advances in analytical instrumentation to do so. Its principal objectives are to provide robust
scientific information to improve understanding of:
Project Titles and Contact Details for Initial Enquiries
ESR1 Evaluating the Utility of Instrumental Tools for Screening for the Presence of BFRs - the objective of this project is to test the hypothesis that screening tools such as portable XRF analysers and ICP-MS provide a satisfactory surrogate metric of the BFR content of a range of goods and materials.
ESR2 Has the Use of BFRs led to Environmental Contamination of Brominated Dioxins & Furans - this project aims to test the hypothesis that increased manufacture and use of BFRs like PBDEs and TBBP-A has led to increased environmental contamination with PBDD/Fs.
ESR3 Exploring the Potential of High Mass Resolution & High Mass Accuracy Mass Spectrometric Techniques to Track the Environmental Metabolism & Fate of BFRs: Application to Human Exposure - this project's objective is to test the hypothesis that degradation/metabolic products of legacy and novel BFRs are measurable and ubiquitous in a variety of matrices relevant to human exposure.
ESR4 Exploring the Potential of High Mass Resolution & High Mass Accuracy Mass Spectrometric Techniques to Track the Environmental Metabolism & Fate of BFRs: Application to the Ambient Environment - this project's principal aim is to test the hypothesis that degradation/metabolic products of legacy and novel BFRs are measurable and ubiquitous throughout various compartments (including aquatic biota) of the ambient environment.
For all projects, please contact: Prof. Stuart Harrad, University of Birmingham, UK S.J.Harrad@bham.ac.uk
As the positions are in the framework of a Marie Curie EID project, intersectoral collaboration is an integral part of each project, ensuring a stimulating and international environment. Researchers will benefit from high quality training in research and complementary techniques and from scientific visits and secondments to other partners associated with the project.
Researchers should have an excellent university degree (e.g. BSc and/or Masters) in an appropriate subject. Fluency in oral and written English is required. Researchers may be either EU citizens or from outside the EU (subject to relevant immigration formalities), who have spent less than 12 months in the UK in the last three years. ESRs must also be in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers. This is measured from the date when they obtained the degree that would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate, either in the country in which the degree was obtained or in the host country. Recruitment within ELUTE aims to fulfil the equal opportunity objectives of the Marie Curie programme and hence applications are welcomed from applicants regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, and from individuals wishing to resume research careers after a break.
Starting dates are negotiable but will be 1st April 2014 or thereabouts.
Benefits
Besides a full employment contract, including social security, successful candidates will receive mobility and career exploratory allowances.
Further Information
In the first instance, interested parties should contact Professor Stuart Harrad (S.J.Harrad@bham.ac.uk) to discuss informally their suitability for the position. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
