Postdoctoral Research Associate leading our ‚Advanced Water Treatment Research Group’

About us

The Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Munich is engaged in research activities that are centered around sustainable, energy-efficient urban water and wastewater systems, energy recovery from wastewater and anaerobic technologies, storm water treatment and management, microbial sys-tems, engineered natural treatment systems, advanced water treatment (membrane- and oxidation hybrid pro-cesses), water recycling, and state-of-the-art analytical tools for process control and water quality. The Chair also operates a physico-chemical laboratory, a microbiology laboratory and a trace organic chemical laboratory. The ‘Advanced Water Treatment Group’ is currently engaged in research spanning fundamental aspects of reac-tion kinetics to applications of ozonation, advanced oxidation processes (AOP), and UV-based systems as well as nature-based solutions (including biofiltration and sequential managed aquifer recharge). For further infor-mation, please visit our website at https://www.cee.ed.tum.de/sww/startseite/.

Qualifications

Applicants should demonstrate the following qualifications:
 Ph.D. degree in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, water chemistry, or environmental science with emphasis on advanced water treatment processes
 Special knowledge regarding ozonation, advanced oxidation processes, activated carbon filtration as well as combined oxidative and biological processes including nature-based solutions would be an advantage
 Softskills (working experience in interdisciplinary teams; leadership)
