PhD Position Microbial Transformation Processes in Contaminated Sediment Depots

Job description

Contaminated sediment depots contain mixtures of polluted dredged sediments that have long term evolved under anaerobic and often brackish environmental conditions. While these depots are extensive monitored, little is known about the changes in microbial communities and pollutants over decades of in-situ storage. The system is strongly stratified, poorly mixed, and exhibits sharp gradients in geochemistry and microbial activity, resulting in major uncertainties in pollutant fate, microbial processes, and long term environmental impacts

A central knowledge gap concerns whether indigenous anaerobic microbial communities can transform persistent pollutants. Identifying degradation pathways, responsible enzymes, and the environmental conditions that drive these transformations is essential to support risk assessment, future remediation technologies, and the potential development of circular resource concepts.

This PhD project focuses on microbial process discovery, using advanced omics based tools to identify organisms, enzymes, and metabolic pathways capable of transforming selected pollutants under anaerobic conditions.

You will:

• collect and characterize sediment samples from the depot
• perform metagenomics, metaproteomics, and non targeted mass spectrometry analyses
• identify active transformation pathways and link enzymes to organisms
• perform enrichment cultivation under controlled redox conditions
• develop proof of concept bioreactor experiments to demonstrate microbial degradation of selected contaminates

The PhD will work closely with a Postdoc who focuses on physicochemical treatment and resource recovery strategies. Together, you form the core research team within the Sludge to Resource program, part of the Haskoning Innovation & Education Fund and co funded by the TKI ChemistryNL research programme.

This project will deliver fundamental insight into microbial processes occurring in long term sediment depots, providing the scientific foundation for future remediation and circular water treatment technologies.

Job requirements

• MSc degree in microbiology, biotechnology, environmental engineering, environmental microbiology, biogeochemistry, or a related field.
• Strong affinity with microbial ecology and/or microbial physiology or contaminant removal.
• Experience with one or more of the following is an asset: (meta)genomics, (meta)proteomics, analytical chemistry (LC MS/MS), anaerobic cultivation, microbial enrichment.
• Ability to independently design and conduct experiments, analyse data, and report findings clearly.
• Motivation to work in an interdisciplinary team at the interface of microbiology, environmental engineering, and geochemistry.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English, as you will be working in an international research environment.

If your mother language is not English and you do not hold a degree from an institution in which English is the language of instruction, you must submit proof of English proficiency from either TOEFL (minimum total score of 100) or IELTS (minimum total score of 7.0). Proof of English language proficiency certificates older than two years are not accepted.

Postdoc In Philosophy of Technology

Co-creating a Transdisciplinary Framework for Sociotechnical System Flourishing.

Introduction
Are you a transdisciplinary philosopher who cares about making theoretical ideas matter in the real world? Are you excited to co-create, together with non-academic stakeholders, a transdisciplinary framework that synthesizes ethical theories of human flourishing with system thinking approaches into a notion of sociotechnical system flourishing? Are you eager to connect diverse philosophical perspectives to tackle urgent challenges in the ethics of socially disruptive technologies? Applications are open for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship within the Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies (ESDiT) consortium, which will be hosted in the Philosophy & Ethics Capacity Group at TU Eindhoven.

Job Description
The aim of this position is to co-create a new transdisciplinary framework with societal partners that will anticipate, mitigate, and minimize the socially disruptive effects of emerging technologies. This will involve synthesizing aspects of system thinking with ethical theories of human flourishing. From a system perspective, disrupted sociotechnical systems have qualities that resist disruption, including adaptability, feedback awareness, and the ability to incorporate external elements. Theories in the human flourishing have analogous features, including emphasizing the individual’s capacity to exercise agency, teleological orientation, and narrative coherence. We believe that combining these two frameworks in a concept of sociotechnical system flourishing has the potential to improve how socially disruptive technologies are developed.

Transdisciplinary research aims to shape real-world domains by co-creating with non-academic stakeholders. ESDiT researchers have identified several cases that could benefit from a transdisciplinary approach that specifically combines aspects of system thinking with the ethics of human flourishing. These include problems in the attention economy, dementia care, and workplace well-being. Each of these involve pressing ethical challenges, including digital overuse, care practices overemphasizing autonomy, and perceived tensions between employee well-being and organizational productivity. Your role will be to co-create actionable insights into how sociotechnical systems can flourish by closely engaging with users, designers, businesses, NGOs, and other stakeholders. The project pursues societal impact by helping societal stakeholders to better understand and perform transdisciplinary research and showing how to design for system level flourishing.

You will lead this research project within the parameters outlined above, bringing to bear your education, research background, and personal interests. Your ESDiT supervisory team will support you in building relationships with key non-academic partners, maximizing the real-world impact of your research, as well as navigating key theoretical choices (such as which theories of human flourishing and/or which system theories to focus on). We will support you in developing a unique and coherent research trajectory to prepare you for what you wish to do afterwards (personal grant acquisition, tenure-track job market, non-academic research role).

In addition to contributing to academic philosophy at a globally recognized level, this position will allow you to directly contribute to 1) conceptual innovation and 2) practical impact outside of academia, helping shape new ways to develop emerging technologies that respond to the complexity of human and societal flourishing.

Institutional Embedding This postdoc position will be part of the Ethics of Socially Disruptive Technologies programme, a ten-year long international research programme of seven academic institutions in the Netherlands. This programme has a combined budget of € 27 million, and is funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, and by matching funds from the participating institutions. The programme has the aim of achieving breakthrough research in at the intersection of ethics, philosophy, technology / engineering and social sciences, and to position its consortium at the top of its field internationally. A key objective is to investigate how new technologies challenge moral values and ontological concepts (like
“nature”, “human being” and “community”), and how these challenges necessitate a revision of these concepts. The consortium, counting over 130 researchers, consists of internationally well-known ethicists, philosophers, engineers and social scientists. The programme functions through nine research lines and three synthesising workshops; for a complete overview, see www.esdit.nl. Your project will primarily be embedded in the STEM line of ESDiT. A fuller description of that research line, as well as the programme as a whole, can be pointed to through the ESDiT website: https://www.esdit.nl/

This postdoc position is a 3-year appointment at TU Eindhoven, focused primarily on publishing at a globally recognized level, as well as doing transdisciplinary research with non-academic stakeholders. The holder will be embedded in the STEM line (and will be expected to take on a coordinating role in this line at some point). They will also contribute to educational programmes in the Philosophy and Ethics group (max. 0,1 – 0,2 FTE), which is part of the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences at TU Eindhoven. They will have generous conference and travel budget available to help them conduct their research at an international level. They are required to be based in the Netherlands.
