The doctoral research is part of the MARMED project in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The project focuses on modelling groundwater flow and contaminant transport to support sustainable groundwater management. The PhD researcher will investigate reactive transport processes involving emerging pollutants and managed aquifer recharge. The wo...

This postdoctoral position at Fundació Centre de Recerca en Agrotecnologia (AGROTECNIO) focuses on a greenhouse-based agricultural research project studying potatoes grown in soil contaminated with bisphenol A (BPA) . The selected researcher will lead the practical development of the experiment, including soil collection and preparation, pot setup with BPA and potato plants, plant watering, and harvest activities. At harvest, soil and plant material will be sampled and lyophilized, and the sampl...

This postdoctoral position is based at the Institut Català d'Arqueologia Clàssica in Tarragona, Spain, within the ICAC Landscape Archaeology Research Group . The project is centred on archaeobotanical research in carpology and aims to study the evolution of food practices and tastes associated with plant-based foods in the Mediterranean. The successful researcher will work on the analysis of plant macroremains from archaeological contexts, covering periods from the Bronze Age to the medieval per...
