JOB DESCRIPTION

The postdoctoral work will be part of SENSAAS (SENSors and Analyses for AquiferS) transdisciplinary research consortium 2021-2024. This large collaborative project at the regional level involves several partner laboratories and propose to develop innovative sensors and to strengthen the analytical capacities of UBFC platforms for micropollutants analysis (microplastics, organic matter, antibiotics, biocides and trace metals) in groundwater.

The proposed post-doc concerns the third axis and focus on the optimization of DTS-FO (Distributed Temperature Sensing by Optic Fiber) and the development of an innovative Raman spectroscopy method enhanced by the use of optic fibers to characterize underground flows and quantify metallic micropollutants.
Experimental applications will be held on the AUVERWTACH observation system (Research Infrastructure OZCAR, eLTER).
