Job offer for PhD contract to research on “Nanoparticle exposures in workplace environments: physical-chemical and toxicological characterisation”. Position offered within research team on indoor and ambient air quality Environmental Geochemistry and Atmospheric Research (EGAR) in Barcelona.

Application deadline: 20th January 2020.

The hydrogeology Group offers a PhD fellowship to study water quality improvement during artificial recharge of aquifers under the Water-JPI European project MARadentro. As part of the project the candidate will collaborate with international and interdisciplinary partners.

The goal of the thesis is to assess the water quality improvement during soil passage and to optimize the reactive barrier design in order to improve the recharged water quality regarding contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), pathogens, and toxicity.

Application deadline: 19th January 2020.
