<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:HypatiaSansPro-Regular;margin-bottom:18pt;text-align:justify">The research unit Analytical, Environmental and Geo-Chemistry (AMGC) within the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Bio-engineering Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) has an opening for an assistant professor in analytical chemistry, starting in the fall of 2014. The research group, currently composed of 3 full-time professors and more than 35 researchers, focuses on the use of chemical and biogeochemical tracers to solve modern and ancient global changes and on the detection of trace metals and micro-organic pollutants in aquatic systems. The instrument park includes several modern IRMS, HR-ICP-MS and bio-assay techniques. The successful candidate is expected to develop his/her own research program<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:HypatiaSansPro-Regular;margin-bottom:18pt;text-align:justify">The teaching assignment of the candidate can contain both introductory classes at bachelor level and advanced, research oriented courses at master level. The detailed list of courses to be taught will be discussed with the candidate, depending on his/her specific expertise and language proficiency.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:HypatiaSansPro-Regular;margin-bottom:18pt;text-align:justify">The candidate holds a PhD degree in sciences (chemistry), (bio-) engineering sciences or equivalent, with specialization in analytical chemistry, from an accredited university. Her/his research interests lie in analytical chemistry and its applications in environmental, global change and pollution problems. She/he must possess a recognized expertise in analytical developments and interest in the design of innovative methodologies for the determination of biogeochemical tracers (major/trace elements, isotopic ratios, micro-pollutants…) in various media. Experience in instrument design and/or optimization is a clear asset.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:HypatiaSansPro-Regular;margin-bottom:18pt;text-align:justify">An extended publication record including regular presentations at international scientific meetings are requested. The candidate should have an outstanding record of research and academic activities, including postdoctoral experience with preferentially extended stays abroad and track record of generating external funding from different sources. Moreover, experience advising or co-advising students theses and/or teaching at the undergraduate or graduate levels are desired.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:HypatiaSansPro-Regular;text-align:justify">The candidate has excellent knowledge of English, and excellent knowledge of Dutch or a willingness to learn Dutch. At the bachelor level, Dutch is the VUB official teaching language. Non native-speakers are expected to be capable to teach in Dutch after 3 years.
Female candidates are particularly encouraged to apply.<u></u><u></u></p>
