News and upcoming events
- In the frame of the research project “Bioavailability and toxicity of legacy and emerging per- and polyfluoralkylated substances (PFAS) in a terrestrial food chain: effects at different levels of biological organisation (BIOTOX-Terra)” we have 3 available PhD positions, find out more:
- PhD in Ecotoxicology: Investigation of the bioavailability and effects of legacy and emerging PFAS on terrestrial organisms under laboratory and field conditions
- PhD in Analytical Chemistry and Toxicology: Investigation of the bioavailability of legacy and emerging PFAS in the terrestrial food chain along a PFAS pollution gradient
- PhD in Plant development and Ecotoxicology: Investigation of the bioavailability and effects of legacy and emerging PFAS on terrestrial plants
- Interested in doing a post-doc with one of us? Then you can apply via the newly launched Yufe4postdoc initiative. YUFE universities are pleased to announce two calls for postdoctoral research positions, open for all disciplines, under the overarching theme of ‘Urban opportunities and challenges’. The first call will be open from 1st March to 7th May 2023 and will focus on Sustainability and Digital Societies. The second call will be open from 1st October 2023 and will focus on Citizens’ Well-being and European Identity. Our research focus fits within the scope of both calls since the impact of chemical and other forms of pollution on the human and natural environment fit within the Sustainability and the Citizens’ wellbeing themes. If you are thinking of submitting a proposal with one of us as potential host research group, please consider first our research topics and find out more about each group. For more information on the Exposome centre of excellence, please contact giulia.poma@uantwerpn.be.
