Job Summary

This position offers a unique opportunity to conduct a Master's thesis within the Toxicology and Immunology research group at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). The successful candidate will focus on the development and validation of an analytical method to determine ultra-short-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with chain lengths of C1-C4 in human serum. Utilizing state-of-the-art Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), you will analyze five specific compounds, including trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). This role is ideal for a student looking to contribute to the field of Human Biomonitoring and environmental health. The position is attractive due to its interdisciplinary research environment, access to modern laboratory equipment, and close mentorship from experienced scientists. You will gain deep insights into toxicology, quality assurance, and the practical application of instrumental analytics in a leading university hospital setting.
