Offer Description
The main goal of the project is is to assess the hydrogeological and hydro-bio-geo-chemical viability of inducing in-situ groundwater denitrification in the coastal area of aquifers discharging to lagoons, as a complementary tool to decrease the input of nutrients to the lagoons through groundwater seepage, and to support the ecological preservation or recovering of these lagoons, which usually are highly affected by human pressures. Additionally, this project will also verify the degree in which these N-attenuating actions also reduce the concentration of selected emerging contaminants (ECs) associated with nitrate pollution.
The tasks to be performed will be to support design and implementation of technical development activities and field-scale technical validation of technological solutions for groundwater pollution remediation by nitrate.
Specific tasks:
Implementation of project tasks (sampling, analysis, deliverables…).
Coordination and design of laboratory experiments.
Stable isotope analysis of different elements and compounds.
Correction of analytical results and preparation of analytical reports.
Interpretation of results and drafting of interpretation reports, project justification report, and scientific publications.
Requirements
Research Field: Architecture
Education Level: PhD or equivalent
Skills/Qualifications
Degree on Geology, Engineering geology, Environmental Sciences or other Science degrees.
PhD on applied geochemistry, hydrogeology or similar.
Professional experience and/or specialized training in underground hydrogeology. Experience in field work: sampling of water and soils, installation of piezometers, pumping and tracer tests, etc.
Experience in writing scientific reports and publications.
Specific Requirements
Participation in pollution remediation projects (nitrates, industrial contaminants, etc) in soils and waters is valued.
Experience in communication with the different actors involved in the management of underground water is valued: administrations, users, local communities, etc.
Postdoctoral experience in geochemistry or isotopic geochemistry will be valued.
It is valued the experience in analytical chemistry: performance of laboratory analysis and correction of results. Experience in analysis of stable isotopes for environmental contaminants will be especially valued.
Experience in private consulting and/or transfer of knowledge is valued.
