Project description We are looking for a postdoc to develop statistical methods for source tracking of dioxins in a project funded by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (TRACED). Current knowledge of dioxin pollution sources is limited and existing source tracking tools require niche data management skills. The aim of the project is to develop new statistical methodology based on modeling of the composition of the contaminants (fingerprint analysis). The methodology will also be applied in two case studies (Lake Vättern and the Bothnian Sea) to explore, evaluate and challenge the current understanding of primary dioxin sources. The work will lead to a broad group of specialists being able to use the new source tracking tool. The project is interdisciplinary and you will work close to a project team that includes expertise in environmental chemistry, statistics and programming. The position is located in the research group led by Professor Erik Kristiansson.

Information about the division and the department at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg has about 200 employees and is the largest department of mathematics in Sweden.

The department has three scientific divisions:

Algebra and Geometry, Analysis and Probability Theory, and Applied Mathematics and Statistics, and conducts successful research in pure and applied mathematics and mathematical statistics in a wide range of research areas.

We have an international environment with frequent exchanges with other universities around the world. The department provides a friendly, creative, and supportive atmosphere with a steady flow of international guests. There are many committed teachers with extensive and broad experience in all aspects of higher education.

Our department continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all our activities. We work actively to be a parent-friendly organization.

The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master's levels as well as supervising master's and/or PhD students to a certain extent. Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large. The position is meritorious for future research duties within academia as well as industry/the public sector.

Qualifications Applicants should hold a PhD degree in in environmental engineering, environmental chemistry, biotechnology, chemical engineering, data science, statistics, mathematics or equivalent. Experience in statistical data analysis and programming is a requirement. Specialization in environmental modelling and/or biostatistics is meritorious.

Emphasis is also placed on personal qualities, such as cooperation and communication skills, analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work independently.

Good knowledge of English (both oral and written) is a requirement.
