Research topics might include, but are not limited to, mechanistic understanding of environmental transformation processes and mobility of anthropogenic or geogenic contaminants, fate and remediation of very mobile very toxic or persistent substances, perturbations of environmental systems by xenobiotics and associated systems toxicology beyond single organisms, interactions between contaminants and geochemical interfaces.

The candidate must have expertise in quantitative experimental research and state of the art analytical tools and should work towards a process-level understanding of the environmental fate and/or effect of natural and anthropogenic contaminants.
