About the Position

We are seeking an Environmental Toxicologist to contribute to our research efforts in sustainable shipping. This PhD scholarship aims to develop assessment of shipping-related pollution on plankton - the base of the marine food webs.

The Project

Responsibilities

Your primary tasks will be to:

  • Conduct ecological / eco-toxicological experiments investigating the effects of contaminant mixtures on marine plankton.
  • Investigate the fate of the contaminants during shipping activities.
  • Develop damage modelling to quantify the environmental effects of shipping in a marine environment.
  • Actively participate and contribute to the networks of researchers and PhD students in DTU Aqua, DTU Sustain, and Maritime DTU.

Requirements

To be eligible, you must have a two-year master's degree or a similar degree within natural sciences.

You should also have some experience in modelling and good communication skills in English, both written and orally.

Benefits

We offer a 3-year PhD scholarship, including salary and benefits according to the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.

Working Conditions

The appointment will be based on a full-time position, starting from December 2024.

What We Offer

A rewarding and challenging job in an international environment, contributing to the understanding of ecosystem damage from mixture toxicity and supporting a better management of environmental effects of anthropogenic activities.
