Descripción de la oferta de trabajo:
A PhD scholarship is available at the Department of Environmental and Resource Engineering (DTU Sustain) within the topic of non-vertebrate ecotoxicological testing and Safe and Sustainability by Design (SSbD) of advanced agrochemicals.
The specific focus of the advertised scholarship is on completing a series of ecotoxicological tests on algae, crustaceans, fish embryos as well as soil microorganisms for a range of advanced agrochemicals and/or formulations. The tests to be completed will follow existing
OECD standards of relevance in order to ensure regulatory relevance and acceptability. The test data generated in this PhD study is to support the completion Stage 2 of the SSbD assessment when it comes to the (eco)toxicity of the final materials/formulation.
The work will furthermore include an analysis of how best to support the European Commission and stakeholders with the evaluation of advanced agrochemicals when it comes to the overall applicability and further development of the SSbD framework. The research is primarily focused on ecotoxicology, but also combines elements of engineering, material science, chemical risk assessment and regulatory guidance. The overarching context is SSbD of advanced agrichemicals.
The scholarship is a 3-year position and is funded by EU H2020 Project, AGRO4AGRI. AGRO4AGRI seeks to provide ground-breaking and Safe and Sustainable by Design solutions for plant nutrition and protection consisting of nano and biobased controlled delivery fertilisers and plant biostimulants, and target-specific biopesticides based on double stranded RNA technology, both for enhanced agrochemicals use efficiency. The PhD-student will work within the work package on Environmental, safety, and socio-economic assessment lead by DTU Sustain.
Responsibilities and qualifications
You will be situated within the section of Environmental Contamination & Chemicals of DTU Sustain and will be a part of our team working on ecotoxicology, regulation and risk assessment of emerging risks and pollutants. You will work in collaboration with scientists from all around Europe. The exact design of the PhD project will be decided in collaboration with the main supervisor, Senior Researcher Lars Michael Skjolding and co-supervisor Associate Professor, Steffen Foss Hansen from DTU Sustain. The position will also include teaching in bachelor and/ or master level courses, supervising student projects or performing other departmental duties.
The responsibilities for the PhD position includes:
- Performing a state-of-the-art analysis of existing data and information of advanced agrochemcials of relevance to AGRO4AGRI
- Completing a range of ecotoxicological tests on agrochemicals of relevance to AGRO4AGRI
- Assist in the evaluation of the SSbD framework applied on agrochemicals
- Teach within the area of chemicals in the environment
- Publication of innovative research findings and results in the scientific literature and presentations at international conference/meetings in English
- Active collaboration with other research sections/groups at DTU Sustain and other departments at DTU as well as at other partners within AGRO4AGRI.
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
