The posting

The Department of Ecoscience, Aarhus University, invites applications for a researcher position exploring the links between aquatic and atmospheric carbon cycling. The position is part of a research project investigating the production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the decomposition of aquatic organic matter (OM).

Expected start date and duration of employment This is a fixed-term 1.5-year position available from 1 March 2027.

Job description The position will focus on developing and implementing experimental and analytical approaches to investigate the coupling between OM decomposition and VOC production in aquatic settings. The work will involve advanced data processing and chemical characterization of organic compounds, with particular emphasis on identifying the VOCs produced and their potential precursors. The research will be carried out in an interdisciplinary environment, in close collaboration with researchers in aquatic biogeochemistry, analytical chemistry and atmospheric science at Aarhus University and with external partners.

Your profile Applicants should hold a PhD in aquatic biogeochemistry, aquatic ecology, environmental chemistry or a closely related field. The successful candidate is expected to have:

  • a strong background in aquatic organic matter biogeochemistry and experimental research
  • experience with advanced analytical techniques and data analysis for the characterization of environmental OM and VOCs
  • a publication record appropriate to the applicant’s career stage
  • excellent scientific communication skills

Experience with advanced mass spectrometric techniques (e.g., Orbitrap-MS, PTR-MS, TDS-GC-MS) and research spanning aquatic and atmospheric processes will be considered an advantage

Proficiency in written and spoken English is required. The successful candidate should also enjoy collaborative work and be motivated to contribute to research development, conference presentations, and scientific publications.

  • an exciting interdisciplinary environment with many national, international and industrial collaborators
  • a research climate encouraging lively, open and critical discussion within and across different fields of research

  • a workplace characterised by professionalism, equality and a healthy work-life balance.

The successful candidate will be offered:

  • access to research facilities and analytical equipment
  • an engaging research environment with collaborators from different disciplines
  • a workplace built on professionalism, equality, and trust
  • opportunities for professional and social interaction with the broader scientific community within the Department of Ecoscience
