Offer Description

This thesis is part of the HEVEA research project, funded by ANSES as part of the Environment-Health-Work 2025 call for projects. The aim is to study the contamination of water resources and drinking water by rubber additives, assess the toxicity of certain processing products, and estimate human exposure.

The person recruited will be specifically responsible for the following analytical aspects:

• identification and quantification of additives and their processing products from leachates (tires, seals, pipes)
• targeted analyses of different environmental matrices (groundwater and surface water, drinking water) and biological matrices (urine and hair)

He/she will participate in the synthesis of processing products for use as analytical standards in the evaluation of environmental and biological matrices, as well as for a toxicological evaluation carried out in parallel with the thesis project.

Required qualifications:

• You have a five-year degree (Master's, engineering school or equivalent) with training in chemical analysis and/or water treatment.
• You are highly rigorous and have a keen interest in laboratory experimentation.
• A good knowledge of organic contaminant analysis using chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry would be an asset.
