We are hiring a Ph. D. research assistant in Environmental Chemistry
We are seeking a graduate research assistant to join our growing team to work on the NSF-funded project "Organochlorine Contaminant Phototransformation: Exploring the Impact of Dissolved Organic Matter Molecular Composition."
09/04/2024
Our project "Organochlorine Contaminant Phototransformation: Exploring the Impact of Dissolved Organic Matter Molecular Composition" was funded by NSF.
The project aims to connect DOM composition with the transformation pathways of dichlorobenzene and triclosan. This project will strengthen FAU's collaboration with Auburn University and will cultivate the next generation of graduate and undergraduate researchers in environmental sciences. Stay tuned for the updates. Thanks to NSF for this opportunity!
