KEY BIOEFFECTS research training network is aiming to provide the elements required to train the new generations of researchers skills needed to solve problems surrounding biodiversity conservation and water pollution in European rivers and to transfer this knowledge to different stakeholder groups. The scientific objective of this project is to provide a better understanding of the causes of ecological quality loss and the cause-effect relationships of pollution and to derive from this knowledge practical tools for water quality assessment.
Projects in the following research areas are available:
• Risk-directed analysis of polluted river samples
• Identification of newly emerging toxicants
• Fate and behaviour (sorption, biodegradation) of new toxicants
• Toxicants bioavailability in benthic invertebrates and biofilms
• Toxicants effects on the rivers’ biodiversity
• Modelling transport and biological effects of pollutants
• Elaborate diagnostic tools to assess the effects of pollution on European rivers biodiversity.
Applicants should send two recommendation letters, their CV and a letter detailing how they would contribute to the project by January 31, 2007 directly to the contact person of the chosen PhD project as provided in this website.
