The Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA-CSIC) offers 1 PhD position in analytical chemistry and marine science, coadvised by two PI of two different research groups. This PhD will focus on applying meta-omics approaches to profile DOC and disentangle the linkage between chemical and taxonomical diversities in the upper ocean. The main tasks conducted during the PhD include:
- Development and application of HRMS-based non-target strategies to describe and identify organic chemicals within DOC pool
- Evaluation of the potential link between the presence of the identified chemicals with specific marine taxa
The candidates must hold a Master’s degree from or equivalent to a Master degree awarded in the European Higher Education Area. Master’s degree must be in Analytical Chemistry, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Environmental Chemistry, Bioinformatics, or similar. Other degrees may be seen favourable if justified by motivation of the student.
The PhD will be co-advised by 2 PI from 2 different research groups. Dr. Pablo Gago Ferrero, from Human Exposure to Organic Chemicals group, uses the last advances in analytical chemistry to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the universe of chemicals that accumulate (or pseudo-accumulate) in humans and their link with the environment. Dr Maria Vila Costa, from Global Change and Genomic Biogeochemistry research group, focuses her research on the interaction between microorgansims and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), both biogenic (BDOC) and particularly anthropogenic (ADOC), in the environment, mainly in seawater, by means of high-throughput genomic technologies.
Contract duration: 3 years
Target start date: November/December 2021 (it can be flexible)
Deadline: 15th December 2021
Contact researchers: Dr. Pablo Gago (pablo.gago@idaeaold.com.devel) and Dr. Maria Vila-Costa (maria.vila@idaeaold.com.devel). Please include a letter of motivation, a CV with publications (if applicable) and the names and contact of two referees.
