Post-doctoral Fellow in Analytical Chemistry

Post-doctoral Fellow in Analytical Chemistry
(for the Assessment of Wild Fauna Exposure to Pesticides in a One Health Context)
LIH - Luxembourg Institute of Health
Luxembourg
The Human Biomonitoring Research Unit (HBRU) is specialized in the assessment of human exposure to pollutants, the identification of determinants of exposure, and the study of exposure-associated health outcomes. Research activities primarily rely on human subjects within epidemiological studies, and extends to the application of human biomonitoring approaches to animal (laboratory and wild fauna). The laboratory is equipped with up-to-date analytical equipment mainly consisting of CG-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS.
The successful candidate will join an exciting pioneering project on the environmental contamination of wild mammals by plant protection products. The candidate’s primary responsibility is to conduct analytical development based on methodologies already available in the lab, and to deliver a fully validated multi-residue method to detect chemicals in the fur of different mammal species using both LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS. This method development work forms the foundation of a broader project, aiming at understanding mechanisms and interactions underlying environmental contamination and transfer to animals and humans within a unique integrated One Health perspective.
Key Skills, Experience and Qualifications
PhD in the field of Analytical Chemistry, Environmental Chemistry, Toxicology or a closely related discipline;
High technical skills in analytical chemistry applied to the detection of chemicals in biological matrices;
Proven experience in full method development and validation for complex biological matrices;
Skills in exposure assessment, environmental fate of chemicals and statistical treatment of data will be considered an asset;
Significant record of publications in peer-reviewed journals;
Rigor, motivation, scientific creativity and originality, writing skills, conciseness, sense of priority and ability to work in a team;
Languages: fluent command of English, knowledge of another language of the European Union is an asset.
