Aarhus University
Are you interested in environmental science and risk analysis and protecting the marine environment from contamination from dumped munitions? We invite applications to a unique exciting opportunity to join new research projects. You can contribute to the development of the project MUNI-RISK and MineSweeper and work towards protecting the Baltic Sea and EU oceans. The Department of Environmental Science invites you to apply for a 19 month post-doctoral position at Aarhus University, in Roskilde, Denmark starting April 15th 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. Job description In September 2023 during the Our Baltic II conference in Palanga Lithuania, the Ministers of the Environmental from the neighboring the Baltic Sea countries (except from Russia) identified the more than 300.000 of unexploded munitions from the past World Wars as a major threat towards the environmental wellbeing of the Baltic Sea. European waters are widely contaminated with underwater munition, which are causing pollution and preventing economic development in the region. The war remnants include conventional and chemical munitions and much of the conventional munitions can be found in relatively shallow waters, near fishing activities, major shipping routes, and offshore development locations. The EU Oceans Pact highlight the need to assess and manage dumped munitions. Two EU-funded projects, MUNI-RISK (https://muni-risk.eu/) and MMinE-SwEEPER (https://mminesweeper-munition.eu/) seek to advance our understanding of the potential risks marine munition may have in the environment – and hence to support risk management of the risks. MUNI-RISK will generate detailed data on the extent of munitions-related chemical contamination in the Baltic Sea. The projects will be conducted in close collaboration with a range of universities, research institutes, authorities, commercial companies, and offshore specialists. The project will develop a framework for prioritization of areas for enhanced risk management e.g. remediation, as well as develop how to include dumped munitions in Environmental Impact Assessments: We will ensure that the frameworks are transferable to other European seas - particularly the Black Sea. Your profile The candidate will be part of the MUNI-RISK and MMinE-SwEEPER consortia that will advance scientific understanding on risks of munition in the marine environment and develop methods for risk prioritizing and implementing remediation actions of dumped munition and inclusion of dumped munitions in Environmental Impact Assessments of offshore wind turbine parks outside Denmark, Poland and Estonia. The candidate will be involved in case study work with stakeholders and assessment of risks based on collected data from the project activities from field measurements in munition dump sites in the Baltic Sea. The candidate will work on the general and site-specific risk assessment of dumped munitions in the Baltic Sea. The tasks of the candidate will also comprise working in the consortium as well as the presentation of results at national and international scientific meetings and the publication of the results in established peer-reviewed scientific journals. Qualifications: A PhD in social sciences achieved by 15th of April 2026 Experience in stakeholder engagement and co-creation and collection and analysis of information and data from stakeholder processes Experience in the quantitative and qualitative methods pertaining to characterization of contaminants and munitions Excellent English language skills (written and spoken) Willingness to work efficiently with other members on the ongoing projects Willingness to contribute to the projects management Who we are The Department of Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary department under the Faculty of Technical Sciences at Aarhus University. The expertise of the Department ranges from physics, chemistry, microbiology, social science, geography, economics, to policy analysis. Basic as well as applied research are conducted on some of the major challenges facing society, such as pollution and pollution control mechanisms, management of land, soil, water, air and biodiversity, protection of ecosystem services, and climate change. Advisory services within these areas are offered to ministries and other authorities. Currently, about 140 staff, postdocs and PhD students are working at the department. The Department believes in values of equality, diversity and inclusion, and creating an attractive work/life balance. Further information can be found at www.envs.au.dk. MITO: Section for chemistry and toxicology. The Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology (MITO) section conducts research and provides advisory work to better understand exposure sources, exposure levels, transformation routes, risks, and effective ways to reduce the danger posed by chemicals. Our aim is to increase knowledge of the fate and risk of organic pollutants in the environment and develop approaches to manage and remediate these risks in technical systems, such as water purification and soil remediation. The research section also performs environmental risk assessments for various organic pollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, PCBs, flame retardants, fluorinated compounds, dioxins, PAHs, personal care products, plasticizers, chemical warfare agents, and their degradation products. In addition, our research examines the sources, transport mechanisms, distribution patterns, bioaccumulation processes, and transformation pathways of contaminants in diverse environmental and human matrices. Our work involves conducting both environmental risk assessment and public health risk assessment ( https://envs.au.dk/en/about-the-department/environmental-chemistry-and-toxiology) What we offer The department/centre offers: a well-developed research infrastructure, laboratories and access to shared equipment an exciting interdisciplinary environment with many national, international and industrial collaborators a research climate encouraging lively, open and critical discussion within and across different fields of research a work environment with close working relationships, networking and social activities a workplace characterised by professionalism, equality and a healthy work-life balance.
