1. A one-year research position is available in the frame of Project PTDC/AAC-AMB/100960/2008, entitled “Removal of cytotoxic chemotherapy compounds from pharmaceutical/hospital wastewaters by combined membrane processing and advanced electro-oxidation treatment” financed by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia .
2. Job/Fellowship Reference: PTDC/AAC-AMB/100960/2008
3. Duration and Regime of Activity: 12 months foreseen to start on June 15, 2010 in exclusiveness regime in accordance with the regulation of advanced training of human resources of FCT
(http://www.fct.mctes.pt/pt/apoios/formacao/ambitoprojectos) and Fundação da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
4. The fellowship can be renewed for an additional period of 16 months.
5. Objective: Development of a novel integrated technology for decontamination of effluents (wastewater), containing cytotoxic chemotherapy compounds produced by hospital and/or pharmaceutical units, through applying combined membrane processing, advanced electro-oxidation and bioremediation. Physicochemical, electrochemical and biological characterization of the degradation of defined chemotherapy compounds in model solutions and real wastewater. Mathematical modeling, optimization, techno-economical and life cycle assessment (LCA) of the integrated treatment. Depending on the quality of the work developed, the grant holder will be invited to proceed to a PhD program.
