招聘简介：
申请书是从具有适当资格的候选人中邀请的，他们将在高威爱尔兰国立大学物理学院的气候和空气污染研究中心担任博士后研究员，担任全职、固定的职位。
该职位由爱尔兰环境保护局（EPA）通过项目SAFER（筛选爱尔兰的持久性有机化学品废物流）提供资金，可从2019年8月到2021年4月提供。
为了帮助制定废物管理方法，最大限度地回收聚合物，同时最大限度地减少对回收物的污染，使用持久性有机化学品（POC），SAFER会生成一个关于爱尔兰废物流中聚合物浓度的综合数据库，提供关于哪些组分被哪个POC污染的信息，并得出S对爱尔兰废物流中POC质量的估计。此外，由于环境保护局资助的晶圆项目，SAFER解决了一个问题，即尽管在2015-16年，通过便携式xrf溴测量确定的受管制溴化阻燃剂（bfr）的低pop浓度限值（lpcl）的“假超标”发生率是可以接受的低；非受管制的使用增加bfr会增加“假超标”的发生率，因此使用便携式xrf来监测受管制bfr是否符合lpcl值的有效性会降低。SAFER还评估了超过lpcl的样品中锑和溴浓度的数据是否可以减少假超标的数量。我们还评估了对已管制化学品的限制对其在爱尔兰废物流中的存在的影响，并为其他POC（即全氟烷基物质、氯化有机磷酸盐和“新型”溴化阻燃剂）提供了基线测量，针对这些POC，未来采取行动以降低其压力。可评估废物流中的静电。

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full time, fixed-term position as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Climate and Air Pollution Studies within the School of Physics at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
This position is funded through project SAFER (Screening of the Irish Waste Stream for Persistent Organic Chemicals) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Ireland and is available from August 2019 to April 2021.
To assist development of waste management approaches, maximising polymer recycling while minimising contaminationof recyclate, with persistent organic chemicals (POCs), SAFER generates a comprehensive database on their concentrations in the Irish waste stream, providing information about which components are contaminated with which POCs and derives estimates of POC masses in the Irish waste stream. Additionally, stemming from the EPA-funded WAFER project, SAFER addresses the concern that although in 2015-16, the incidence of “false exceedances” of low POP concentration limit (LPCL) values for regulated brominated flame retardants (BFRs) identified by portable XRF measurements of bromine was acceptably low; increasing use of non-regulated BFRs will increase “false exceedance” incidence, rendering use of portable XRF to monitor compliance with LPCL values for regulated BFRs less effective. SAFER also evaluates whether data on antimony and bromine concentrations in samples exceeding the LPCL, can reduce the number of false exceedances. We also evaluate the impact of restrictions on already-regulated chemicals on their presence in the Irish waste stream, and provide baseline measurements for other POCs (namely perfluoroalkyl substances, chlorinated organophosphates, and “novel” brominated flame retardants) against which the success of future actions taken to reduce their presence in the waste stream may be evaluated.
Job Description:
The successful candidate will be responsible for closely collaborating with the NUI Galway supervisor and the adjoint team of experts from the University of Birmingham, UK, to conduct the SAFER project. Specifically, he/she will:
· · Contact waste processing companies, establish waste sampling protocols, obtain and laboratory condition plastics, WEEE, and soft furnishing waste samples for analysis,
· · Apply XRF and GC/MS/MS to establish POC concentrations in the samples,
· · Contribute to elucidate temporal trends in waste POC, and
· · Contribute to establish a national inventory of POC compounds in the Irish waste stream.
· · Secondary responsibilities will be the assisting with project outreach activities and with the dissemination of project data both to project participants, at scientific conferences and to non-scientific audiences.
Qualifications/Skills required:
Essential Requirements:
· PhD in Physics or Chemistry.
· Experience in field and laboratory research on chemicals in plastic waste and furnishings, specifically brominated flame retardant and perfluoroalkyl substances.
· Experience in field applied XRF and laboratory GC/MS/MS analytical methods.
· Evidence of scientific publications and dissemination of results at conferences
· Excellent verbal and written communication (English language) skills
· Full driving licence
Desirable Requirements:
· Familiarity with research in waste management, air/soil/groundwater pollution
· Experience in statistical analysis of environmental research data
· Experience in science outreach activities
Salary: €39,530 per annum
Start date: Position is available from August 1st 2019
Continuing Professional Development/Training:
Researchers at NUI Galway are encouraged to avail of a range of training and development opportunities designed to support their personal career development plans.
