Tc is the lightest chemical element that exists only in radioactive isotopes and exhibits unique chemical and physical properties. Due to its relevance for the safety assessment of potential nuclear waste repositories, a deeper understanding of the mobility of Tc in the environment is required, in particular regarding the formation of stable Tc complexes in aqueous solution. This postdoctoral project focuses on the complexation of Tc in different oxidation states with inorganic ligands. Special emphasis will be placed on the further development of spectroelectrochemical methods and their application to characterize Tc complexes. The postdoctoral position is part of the project “Retention and solubility of dose-relevant radionuclides under the reducing near-field conditions of a repository in clay or crystalline rock” (RULET), that is funded by the Federal German Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
The position is planned to start on February 1, 2026. An earlier start is negotiable.
