PhD student in a European training program on human exposure to fluorinated substances, with a focus on novel analytical chemical methods

PhD Position
Subject: Effects of land management on the supply and demand of ecosystem services

We are looking for a Master or Bachelor student to support experimental work within the DFG-funded French-German project Climshift. This spring/summer we want to perform microcosm experiments including macrophytes and microalgae to investigate the role of two different exposure pathways, namely via the water column versus the sediment.

The Master thesis is embedded in the framework of the citizen science project “Expedition Erdreich” and its use of the “Tea Bag Index”. Based on observed decomposition rates of buried tea bags, a worldwide dataset will be assembled and analysed in terms of the varying carbon decomposition.
