Post-Doc: Salinity & Mercury Mobility in Coastal Soils

Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research; Italia; On-site; EUR 32,000 - 48,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Trieste invites applications for a post-doctoral researcher to investigate how salinity variations affect mercury mobility in coastal groundwater. The project includes monitoring, recording physico-chemical parameters, and analyses of groundwater and soil.

The researcher will explore biogeochemical processes governing mercury mobility under varying salinity, contribute to teaching in bachelor/master programs, and participate in lab activities related to GEOS-01/C – Geochemistry

Responsibilities

• Investigate effects of salinity variations on mercury mobility in coastal groundwater.
• Conduct groundwater monitoring and record physico-chemical parameters.
• Perform analyses on groundwater and soil, including speciation analyses.
• Study biogeochemical processes regulating mercury mobility under different salinity conditions.
• Contribute to teaching activities in Bachelor/Master programs and support laboratory work within GEOS-01/C Geochemistry and Volcanology.
