Job Description

Fraunhofer USA Center Midwest is seeking a highly motivated and technically strong Postdoctoral Fellow to join the Water Treatment group under supervision of Dr. Ibrahim Abusallout.

The position will focus on the development of novel and advanced analytical methods for PFAS analysis in water. The successful candidate will play a key role in a Water Research Foundation-funded project aimed at developing an innovative PFAS analytical tool using a microfluidic electrochemical reactor integrated with advanced analytical instrumentation.

In addition, the Postdoctoral Fellow will have opportunities to contribute to NSF-, EPA-, and industry-funded projects focused on developing remediation technologies for PFAS and other contaminants, including electrochemical oxidation, photolysis/photocatalysis, and adsorption.

We are looking for candidates with strong expertise in environmental analytical chemistry and demonstrated experience in the analysis of organic contaminants such as PFAS, disinfection byproducts (DBPs), and pesticides. Experience with analytical method development and validation, sample preparation and preconcentration techniques (e.g., SPE), and targeted and non-targeted analysis (NTA) using LC-MS/MS, HRMS/QTOF, GC-MS/MS, and related instrumentation is highly desirable.

The position also offers opportunities to develop independent research ideas, pursue internal and external funding opportunities, mentor students and interns, present at conferences, and publish high-impact research.

The initial appointment is available immediately for one year, renewable based on performance and funding availability.
