PhD and Research Associate positions in Federal Institute for Hydrology

The Federal Institute for Hydrology invites applications for the positions of PhD and Research Associate (PostDoc) under a project focussing on water pollution.

PhD position in project ‘SOURCE’

As part of a research project named “SOURCE (Identification of pollutant sources in federal waterways) in the department of Biochemistry and Ecotoxicology , the Federal Institute for Hydrology (BfG) invites applications for a PhD position. The position starts on 01.01.2023 and is limited until 31.12.2025. The workplace is in Koblenz.

The candidate will develop approaches to data analysis and modeling of toxic
effects of chemical mixtures. This supports the development of effect-directed
methods for identifying the pollutants responsible for ecotoxicological effects and their
entry sources in federal waterways.

Roles and responsibilities under the position include (but is not limited to):-

  1. Implementation and evaluation of effect models for chemicals and
    chemical mixtures.
  2. Conception, planning and implementation of data mining and machine learning approaches.
  3. Creation of a suitable system architecture for collecting data on properties and
    effects of chemicals.
  4. (Further) development of analysis tools for the prediction and presentation of toxic
    effects of mixtures of substances.

The candidate should hold a university diploma or a master’s degree in biology, bioinformatics, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, informatics, environmental sciences, geoecology or a related qualification.

Application is to be sumitted online via the link – http://www.bav.bund.de/Einstieg-EBV (Please use the tender reference code – 20221178_0002 while submitting the application)
