Namely, the research scientist will be in charge of:
Water sampling campaigns and other related activities at field site.
Design, set-up and implementation of laboratory and field experiments on denitrification, with different electron donors. Water sampling, pre-treatment and chemical/isotopic analysis.
Correction and interpretation of geochemical and isotopic analytical results (especially, isotopic composition of nitrate and other nitrogen species) and preparation of analytical reports.
Implementation of project Tasks, participation to project meetings and workshops; support to the activities of dissemination of scientific results of the Project; drafting and editing of project reports, deliverables and scientific papers for international journals; participation to international and national Conferences.
