Summary
The University of Copenhagen invites applications for two PhD fellowships within the Analytical Chemistry Group. These fellowships focus on advanced chromatography and mass spectrometry techniques for analyzing contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in wastewater and human urinary exposome.
PhD Fellowships in Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry, Copenhagen, Denmark
Designation
- PhD Fellow (2 Positions)
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Research Area | Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry, Analytical Data Science |
| Location | Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark |
| Eligibility | MSc in analytical chemistry or a related field; or MSc in data science with experience in modeling analytical datasets |
| Application Deadline | 28 March 2026, 23:59 GMT +1 |
Research Area
The fellowships will focus on:
- Characterization of micropollutants in wastewater and advanced treatment processes.
- Large-scale chemical profiling of human urinary exposome associated with health outcomes.
Location
- Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Eligibility/Qualification
- MSc degree in analytical chemistry, environmental analytical chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, or related discipline.
- Alternatively, an MSc in data science with experience in modeling complex analytical datasets.
- Hands-on experience with chromatography (LC, GC, SFC) coupled with mass spectrometry.
- Experience in targeted/non-target screening, method development, and validation.
- Familiarity with chemometrics, machine learning, or deep learning.
Description
The PhD candidates will work on state-of-the-art separation science, including:
- LC (online-SPE-LC), GC×GC, and SFC coupled to high-resolution MS platforms (Orbitrap, QqTOF, TOF).
- Projects involve quantitative targeted analysis as well as suspect and non-target screening in complex environmental and biological matrices.
- Candidates will also engage in analytical data science for compound identification and model development.
How to Apply
Interested candidates must submit their applications electronically, including the following attachments:
- Motivated letter of application specifying the chosen PhD research topic.
- Research project proposal (max. 3 pages).
- Curriculum vitae.
- Original diplomas and transcripts.
- Publication list (if available).
