2 open PhD positions on microplastics in the environment

Are you concerned about the impacts of microplastic pollution? Do you want to help increase the scientific understanding of microplastic interactions with natural systems under global change conditions?

Join us for one of two 4-year fully funded PhD projects to study the interactions of synthetic microfibres (released from textiles) with freshwater sediments under different current and future scenarios as part of the NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) funded Vidi project µFLUFF (Microfibre legacies – understanding long-term emissions & environmental feedback processes of synthetic microfibres).
The positions are based at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics – University of Amsterdam (Netherlands). Full details and applications via the links below.
