We offer a 3-year contract for a PhD candidate to join a leading research team in atmospheric pollution and indoor environments. The Environmental Geochemistry and Atmospheric Research (EGAR) team develops research on atmospheric aerosols and gaseous pollutant with a combined air quality and climate focus. We also carry out research on occupational exposure to aerosols in industrial settings.

Research topic: Occupational exposure to fine and ultrafine particles in harbour areas: physico-chemical and toxicological characterisation of atmospheric aerosols.

We communicate that Marta Turull López defends his PhD Thesis on 19th July at the CID-CSIC.

Title: Novel developments in the Diffusive Gradient in Thin films (DGT) technique for the determination of bioavailable mercury and other trace metals in aquatic and terrestrial environments
Speaker:  Marta Turull López

IDAEA-CSIC, CUADLL, the Parc Agrari and Aigües de Barcelona are beneficiaries of WaterProtect, while many other entities involved in water use and management in the Baix LLobregat have expressed their support for the project.

WaterProtect relates to the Horizon 2020 Programme social challenge “Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research and the bioeconomy “, and addresses the Topic: Water farms – improving farming and supply of drinking water.

We are seeking a pre-doctoral student to work in the area of Environmental Toxicology. One of the goals of our current research is to study the effects of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) in aquatic organisms at different molecular levels using Systems Biology approaches. This will allow us to better understand the mode of action of EDCs assessing the environmental stress and risks induced by chemical pollutants in both the environment and human health.

Announcement for IDAEA weekly seminar series taking place this Wednesday 17th at CID – Sala d'Actes room at 12 am.

Speaker: Diana Álvarez Muñoz
Title: Interacction organic contaminants-aquatic organisms: environmental and human exposure
