Doctoral Researcher (PhD Student) - Tomography of Desorption Reactions | Doktorand (w/m/d) Tomographie von Desorptionsreaktionen

Job Summary

This doctoral position focuses on quantifying the remediation of contaminated materials using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The successful candidate will join a collaborative project to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of decontamination efficiency in various soil materials at a flow cell scale, comparing results with large-scale experiments. Key responsibilities include optimizing chemical decontamination parameters in cooperation with biochemistry partners and quantifying them using tomographic methods, especially PET. The role involves extensive analytical work, with a focus on PET, Computed Tomography, and Autoradiography, utilizing an in-house cyclotron and radiochemistry lab for radiotracer development. A significant part of the work will involve processing and analyzing large tomographic datasets to derive parameters for reactive transport modeling, working closely with nuclear waste management users. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual interested in interdisciplinary research within a leading scientific environment.
