Empa is an interdisciplinary research and services institution for material sciences and technology development within the ETH Domain. For a joint research project between the Laboratory for Analytical Chemistry and the Technology and Society Laboratory we are searching for a

PhD Student in environmental chemistry of nanoparticles

The project aims at investigating the behavior of nanoparticles released from paints into the environment. The emphasis will be on analytical method development and the investigation of fate processes like dissolution, agglomeration, sedimentation or other transformation mechanisms.
We are looking for a highly qualified and motivated candidate interested in a fundamental understanding of nanoparticle behavior in the environment. The candidate should have a good background in analytical and environmental chemistry and should be fully motivated, focused on experimental work and interested in multidisciplinary research.

The ideal candidate (m/f) is a communicative experimental chemist, natural scientist, environmental scientist or a related discipline with a Master’s degree of a University or an equivalent degree. Knowledge in analytical chemistry, especially field flow fractionation or chromatography techniques in combination with plasma mass spectrometry are advantageous.

The work will be carried out at Empa Dübendorf and Empa St. Gallen under supervision of PD Dr. Bernd Nowack and Dr. A. Ulrich. Enrolment of the PhD is at ETH Zürich. Prof. Dr. Laura Sigg is the academic supervisor at ETHZ. The position will be available in June 2010. The planned project duration is three years.
Please send your complete application (German or English) including CV, exam certificates, list of publications as well as names and addresses of at least two academic references to Dr. Bernd Nowack. Only complete applications will be evaluated.

For further information please contact Dr. Bernd Nowack, nowack@empa.ch.
