We are seeking a Research Fellow to join a new NERC-NSF project titled “Unravelling the formation and impact of the plastisphere in response to environmental stresses in microplastic contaminated soils”. The post explores the impacts of microplastics on soils, focusing on physical properties and associated microbial processes. Much of the research will use microfluidics systems to provide a high level of control to explore microplastic breakdown by microorganisms the subsequent impacts on flow and transport. The postholder will work closely with a Senior Research Fellow with expertise in soil physics, and support will be provided to measure microbial properties. The project is joint with Cornell University who provide expertise in soil biogeochemistry.

The preferred applicant will have a background in porous media flow, preferably in biologically active systems. You will use approaches ranging from microfluidics to packed soil samples to explore how microplastics and their degradation affect hydrological and mechanical properties. A strong focus will be on interfacial processes that affect microbial colonisation and transport, water flow and retention, and plastic migration.

The post is a collaboration between the School of Biological Sciences and the School of Engineering at the University of Aberdeen, and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University. The lead investigators at Aberdeen provide multidisciplinary expertise: Prof. Paul Hallett, a soil physicist, Dr. Yukie Tanino, an environmental engineer and Prof. Cecile Gubry-Rangin, a molecular ecologist. Prof. Carmen Enid Martinez at Cornell University is a soil environmental chemist. Two other Research Fellows are working on the project: (i) a soil biogeochemist at Cornell University, and (ii) a soil physicist at the University of Aberdeen.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 6 Salary Scale, £38,249 - £45,413 per annum with placement according to qualifications and experience.

Job Reference Number: SBS177R
