The PhD project is part of a larger research project investigating large scale effects of algal toxins of aquaculture in the Baltic Sea. The PhD project will mainly focus on production, flow and effects of algal toxins and vitamins in the Baltic Sea. The project includes both field studies and chemical analyses as well as controlled laboratory experiments to investigate concentrations and seasonal variations of algal toxins. We will particularly study routes of exposure for algal toxins from cyanobacteria and filamentous algae in blue mussels. The position can also come to include aspects of ecotoxicological effects of algal toxins and thiamine deficiency on the aquatic environment. As a PhD student, you will be part of a newly started transdisciplinary research group in aquatic ecology and collaborate with another PhD project starting up at the Department of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment.
