1 open PhD position in Radioanalytical Chemistry at Risø Laboratory in the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering, Technical University of Denmark (DTU Sustain), Roskilde, Denmark

As a PhD student in this project, you will engage in: 

1. Develop radiochemical procedures for separation of difficult-to-measure radionuclides (e.g., ⁹⁹Tc, ¹²⁶Sn, ¹⁰⁷Pd, ¹⁴⁷Pm, ¹⁵¹Sm) from environmental samples (e.g. seawater, sediment, soil) and radioactive waste samples (e.g., spent resin, steel, concrete)
2. Develop and optimize radiometric methods for measurement of radionuclides (e.g., ⁹⁹Tc, ¹²⁶Sn, ¹⁰⁷Pd, ¹⁴⁷Pm), focusing on novel triple-to-double coincidence ratio method of liquid scintillation counting (TDCR-LSC).
3. Develop and optimize mass spectrometry methods for measurement of radionuclides (e.g., ⁹⁹Tc, ¹²⁶Sn, ¹⁰⁷Pd, ¹⁵¹Sm) focusing on advanced ICP-MS techniques
4. Close collaboration with an interdisciplinary team
5. Research and teaching efforts at a section and departmental level as appropriate and relevant
6. Dissemination of your research through publications and attendance to conferences

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

Applicants must have a bachelor and/or master’s degree in chemistry or environmental science with education background and professional experience within one or more of the following fields:

• Radioanalytical chemistry
• Measurement techniques for radionuclides (alpha, beta, gamma, liquid scintillation counter, ICP-MS) and applications
• Nuclear and radiochemistry
• Analytical chemistry
• Inorganic chemistry
• Radiation protection
• Environmental science
