Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time
Responsibilities and Qualifications

The main objectives of your PhD are:

  1. To develop a damage modelling framework for environmental pollutants in marine environments.
  2. To enhance our understanding of the cumulative impacts of (shipping-relevant) contaminants, to be used as input to the damage model.

Your primary tasks will be:

  • Conducting ecological/eco-toxicological experiments investigating the effects of contaminant mixtures on marine plankton.
  • Investigating the fate of the contaminants during shipping activities.
  • Developing damage modelling to quantify the environmental effects of shipping in a marine environment.
  • Actively participating and contributing to the networks of researchers and PhD students in the Centre for Absolute Sustainability, DTU Aqua, DTU Sustain, and Maritime DTU, as well as to the biodiversity networks of maritime industry and researchers.
