Doctoral position on PFAS Pathways: Tracking Forever Chemicals through SoilGroundwater Interfaces for Safer Water

The Subsurface Environmental Processes Group (Eawag and ETH Zurich) is seeking a dynamic and motivated doctoral student to study the dynamics of PFAS in subsurface environments. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of highly persistent synthetic compounds increasingly detected in soils and aquifers worldwide. Their extreme stability and mobility make PFAS a critical challenge for groundwater quality and drinking water security. Although PFAS contamination has been reported in many regions, the fundamental mechanisms controlling PFAS fate and transport in coupled soilaquifer systems remain poorly understood. 

Job description

  • The focus of this PhD project will be on quantifying the control exerted by soil physico-chemical properties and episodic recharge events on the fate, transport, and transformation of PF...
