We are looking for a motivated and curious candidate for the position of a young researcher who will contribute to the development and optimization of state-of-the-art analytical methods for determining the isotopic composition of non-traditional elements (Mg, Cu, Sr, Cd, Pb). The research will be based on advanced techniques such as multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS), in combination with single-particle analysis, laser ablation, chromatographic methods (LC, GC), and related techniques (ICP-TOF-MS).
The work will focus on developing innovative sampling and sample preparation methods, as well as improving the precision and reliability of measurements. The researcher will contribute to a deeper understanding of the geochemical cycling of these elements in natural systems and the human body. This work will have important applications in the following areas:
-> Studying geological processes
-> Identifying sources of pollution
-> Investigating the cycling of essential elements in the human body
Through this research, the candidate will gain in-depth knowledge in analytical chemistry, geochemistry, and biomedicine while developing innovative methodological approaches to tackle complex scientific challenges. The work will take place in a dynamic interdisciplinary environment, in close collaboration with leading national and international research groups.
