Team players in environmental engineering
Your overall focus will be to strengthen DTU Sustain’s competences within the areas of soil &
groundwater remediationand risk assessment of contaminated sites. You will work in our section of Environmental Contamination &
Chemicals dealing with groundwater, hydrogeology, groundwater-surface water interaction, risk assessment and sustainable mitigation of contamination sources and numerical modeling. You will interact with academia, public authorities, consultants, and industrial partners in Denmark as well as abroad.

We expect that you have a strong Danish and/or international platform within environmental microbiology and chemistry with an engineering (or similar) background in water resources, soil-groundwater systems, contaminant hydrogeology, environmental microbiology and chemistry. Your primary tasks will be to:

• Teach and supervise BSc and MSc student projects, and be co-supervisor for PhD students covering a broad of range of topics related to groundwater contamination
• Perform research at an international level in the interdisciplinary areas of contaminant hydrogeology and environmental chemistry with particular focus on transport and fate of organic chemicals arising from contaminated sites.
• Develop concepts and technologies for sustainable soil and groundwater remediation
• Build up, develop and contribute with new approaches and methods (laboratory, field), process understanding, and conceptual models.
• Contribute to research in the group and with colleagues in the environmental chemistry, water resources, urban water area, and other related fields

We are looking for a scientific talent with the skills and ambitions to see the sky as the limit and world class as a natural guiding light. To succeed, you must like to create results via knowledge sharing and constructive collaboration with due respect to professional and cultural differences – and be able to give and take feedback with an open mind.
