PhD Researcher in Environmental Impact Assessment of Shipping
1 day ago
This PhD study will focus on developing a holistic tool to assess the impacts of shipping on biodiversity, which will reduce the risks of mitigating one problem by causing another and contribute to maritime spatial planning and sustainable shipping. The study will combine development of damage modelling with new experimental evidence on the ecological effects of multiple contaminants and their behavior in the marine environment.
Job DescriptionThe main objectives of this PhD are to develop a damage modelling framework for environmental pollutants in marine environments and 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 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 the Centre for Absolute Sustainability, DTU Aqua, DTU Sustain and Maritime DTU, as well as to the biodiversity networks of maritime industry and researchers.
You must have a two-year master's degree or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree within natural sciences, such as marine biology, oceanography, eco-toxicology, environmental chemistry or environmental engineering. We also expect you to have some experience in modelling, which could be ecosystem modelling, statistical modelling or damage modelling. Experience in ecotoxicology, experimental plankton ecology, life cycle assessment and/or analytic chemistry is an advantage.
- Flexibility concerning research stays abroad.
- Good communication skills in English, both written and orally.
- Ability to conduct research independently and good problem-solving skills.
- Good collaborative skills and strong interest in participating in an inter-disciplinary and international research environment.
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. You will be part of an inter-disciplinary and international research environment, working closely with experts in your field. You will also have the opportunity to participate in conferences and workshops, and to collaborate with other researchers and institutions.
