The Brotherhood regularly organizes the latest doctoral admissions and scholarship introductions for students, and welcomes everyone to continue to pay attention. If you are short of time and want to apply for an overseas Ph.D., apply for a full scholarship, etc., please contact the assistant for consultation, and we will provide students with full award PhD application services in many countries around the world.
ETH Zurich's Inorganic Environmental Geochemistry Group is recruiting full-scholarship PhDs.
The research group aims to understand the biogeochemical cycling and environmental distribution of health-related trace elements. The PhD position is part of the Sinergia project "Delta – Assessing Changes in Geological Arsenic Contamination within the Delta under Anthropogenic Stress: An Integrated Approach to Assessing Groundwater Vulnerability in Vietnam" funded by the Swiss National Society for Science (SNF).
The project is a project of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (L.I. Bundes winkel, a .nghiem), EAWAG University (M.V.)Berg), University of Neuch (P.D.).Renard) and the University of Zurich (ADAM-REISER) and several partners in Vietnam and the United States. The project aims to understand and study the dynamics of arsenic pollution patterns in groundwater in the Red River and Mekong deltas in Viet Nam through a combination of hydrogeology, geochemistry, remote sensing, and data science.
This PhD project aims to raise awareness of the dynamic spatial arsenic pollution patterns in groundwater and their underlying factors. Your tasks include organizing and actively participating in field activities in Vietnam, collecting groundwater and sediment samples in the field, designing and conducting laboratory experiments, conducting (geo)chemical analyses, exploring and challenging existing assumptions about arsenic contamination. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work on your creative ideas within the framework of the project.
Throughout the program, you will work closely with other PhD students and postdocs in the Delta project, as well as partners in Vietnam and the United States. Therefore, good communication and knowledge transfer with Delta team members is crucial. Another important aspect of your job is to publish your research in peer-reviewed journals, communicate your research to different audiences, including project partners, and present your research at international conferences. In addition, I would like you to participate in some of ETH Zurich's teaching activities and help organize seminars on Delta's projects in Switzerland and Vietnam.
