PhD Student on electrochemical approaches in radioanalytics
- The development of novel electrochemical techniques for use in radionuclide analysis and the research on the underlying mechanisms of the chemical pathways involved
- Your main goal will be to extend the potential range beyond aqueous solutions to be able to access more ions and radionuclides
- Plan and perform experiments using model systems and apply successful procedures to real-world samples
- Potentially extend the tools developed for applied radioanalytics to fundamental research with superheavy elements
- Teaching at ETH Zurich (ETHZ) in the chemistry labs for undergraduate students
- Master’s degree in chemistry from a recognized university and excellent academic track record which qualify for doctoral studies at ETHZ
- Strong interdisciplinary interests and the ability to combine different fields of chemistry, i.e., electrochemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, radiochemistry and some nuclear physics
- Willingness and responsibility to work in controlled areas and perform experiments using radioactive substances
- Perseverance and a talent for analysis, instrument handling and some basic engineering skills
- Ability and desire to publish and present your work in scientific literature and at national/international workshop and conferences
