Environmental Geochemistry Researcher

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description Work environment: . HydroSciences Montpellier (HSM) is a joint research unit affiliated with the University of Montpellier (UM), the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD). It brings together expertise from a range of disciplines to study, quantify and predict the impacts of climate and human activities on water resources in Mediterranean and tropical regions. The main research topics are: . The water cycle and interactions at different scales within the atmosphere–vegetation–soil–aquifer–river continuum. The characterisation and modelling of transfers in heterogeneous environments. Changes in water resources in response to global change, using complex prospective scenarios. The dynamics of metal and emerging contaminants, health risks, and the adaptation mechanisms of waterborne pathogenic bacteria. The researcher will join the PEnSTer team (Environmental Pollution, Health and Territories), a multidisciplinary group comprising geochemists, microbiologists, epidemiologists, circular economy specialists and experts in interdisciplinary approaches. Its members belong to HSM’s three main affiliated institutions (CNRS, UM and IRD) and its secondary partner institution, IMT Mines Alès. The team’s research focuses on metal and organometallic pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
