Application closing date 22/08/2016 Salary £24,495 per annum with pension, or £27,208 per annum without pension, complemented by a mobility allowance from £363 per month Job category/type Research Job description Job Details https://knock.qub.ac.uk/itrent_web_rec_docs/job_desc/16_104762.pdf?ts=20160721102816 Visit Website http://www.qub.ac.uk/schools/NBE/ For further details please contact: Dr Julie-Anne Hanna, email: [email protected] Working at the Queen's University Belfast School School of Planning Architecture and Civil Engineering under the supervision of Dr Rory Doherty and Dr Ulrich Ofterdinger of the School of Natural and Built Environment and Dr Chris Allen of the School of Biological Sciences this project will research the application and monitoring of large scale bioelectrical systems associated with contaminant plumes. Application closing date 22/08/2016 Bioelectrical systems (BES) are used to describe applications where current and potential is generated by microbes. Here we are researching the application of BES across contaminant plumes using near surface geo-electrical alongside microbial ecology and electrochemistry techniques to monitor microbial activity and plume characteristics in the subsurface. This project will address this area by using a range of near surface geo-electrical techniques (Resistivity, Self Potential, Induced Polarisation) on site combined with microbial ecology from groundwater and electrode samples to help construct and monitor a BES across a groundwater contaminant plume. Thus, the project will include: • Investigation using near surface geo-electrical techniques (Resistivity, Self Potential, Induced Polarisation etc.) • Collaboration with molecular biologists to elucidate effects on the microbial community structures and activity • Construction and monitoring of a field scale and laboratory BES Application closing date 22/08/2016
