Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment Towards Sustainable Chemical Use (ECORISC)
The ECORISC Centre for Doctoral Training will produce a generation of innovator scientists that can identify, understand and effectively manage the risks of chemicals through the use of state-of-the art science and out-of-the box thinking.
A six-year Natural Environment Research Council-funded Centre for Doctoral Training.
By combining mechanistic understanding, theoretical advances and modelling approaches we'll contribute to the development of predictive risk assessment frameworks that will allow society to benefit from chemical use while ensuring protection of the natural environment, now and in the future.
ECORISC graduates will be interdisciplinary researchers skilled in experimental, modelling and statistical techniques who will be able to apply their knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems alongside having an awareness of the wider policy and regulatory context within which chemicals are managed.
Graduates will be highly employable in global job markets across a range of sectors including:
- environmental monitoring, protection and regulation
- chemical development and production
- water, waste and wastewater management
- environmental consultancy
- analytical instrument development and services
- research
Open to UK (home) students only.
