Job summary

University of Gdańsk, Faculty of Chemistry invites applications for a Post-doc position to work on the FateNANO project, focusing on modelling how structural properties of ENMs determine their environmental release and transport. You will contribute to nano-QSPR and MFA integrations under the NCN OPUS-20 framework.

The role includes supervising PhD students, presenting results, and publishing in scientific journals, with a full-time 11-month contract and generous leave.

Qualifications

• PhD degree in chemistry, physics, biology, materials science or a related natural science discipline.
• experience in modelling the transport and fate of nanomaterials.
• high-quality scientific publications.
• excellent command of written and spoken English.
• high level of scientific writing skills.
• analytical thinking skills.
• ability and motivation to rapidly learn new methods.
• strong motivation to develop an independent scientific career.
• independence and creativity.
• good organisational skills.

Responsibilities

• supervising one PhD student developing MFA models incorporating nanoform-specific contributions;
• together with two PhD students, under the supervision of the PI: integrating nano-QSPR and MFA with the EFM model; performing predictions of the environmental transport and fate of representative ENM nanoforms (nanomaterials: Ag, TiO2, SiO2, ZnO and CeO2).
• All members of the research team will be involved in data collection and evaluation, as well as in model grouping and integration.
• the Post-doc will be responsible for presenting the research results obtained; writing scientific publications; and participating in international conferences.
