Isodetect GmbH is a pioneering company which provides isotope analytical services and scientific expertise for exploring contaminated field sites. In particular, it holds key knowledge in monitoring sources and sinks of organic pollutants.
Isodetect is offering a position for three years within the European Union 7th framework ‘PEOPLE’ programme Initial Training Network project “Isotope forensics meets biogeochemistry – linking sources and sinks of organic contaminants by compound specific isotope investigation” – CSI:ENVIRONMENT – for a PhD student (analytical chemist, environmental chemist or related fields) (f/m)
for the sub-project:
“Application and implementation of novel isotope analyses and isotope fractionation concepts within case studies”.
The project aims at the application and implementation of compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) for assessing sources and sinks of organic pollutants in the environment. Novel extraction techniques will be combined with innovative multiple element isotope analysis to determine isotope ratios of contaminants from field sites.

We seek a highly motivated creative person with interests in analytical and environmental chemistry. Candidates should have a master or diploma certification in the area of natural sciences, preferentially analytical chemistry or environmental chemistry. Due to the international character of the project, excellent English communication skills are expected.
