Project OverviewUsing some of the longest and most consistent biodiversity monitoring data in the world, this project will investigate the role chemical contaminants play in the decline of aquatic invertebrate and fish populations against a background of natural population dynamics for supporting more effective future monitoring and environmental protection.Novelty of the Project:This project will conduct new analyses of extensive datasets to establish which UK aquatic organisms are showing declining population trends, the evidence chemical stressors are responsible, and which groups of organisms are more susceptible to chemical pollution and why, in turn supporting more effective future monitoring and environmental protection.Expertise that you would develop: This multi-disciplinary studentship project will provide an exceptional training in the areas of ecotoxicology, population biology, modelling, analytical chemistry, advanced statistical methods, programming and handling big data. Through stakeholders the student will also gain in-depth knowledge in conservation biology, environmental monitoring, and chemicals risk, management and domestic and international policy. The studentship will also include a study of the Japanese freshwater fish and invertebrate data through an existing supervisory UK-Japan partnership that will include study trips offered to Japan, providing an international dimension to the studentship project and training.The ECORISC CDTThis project is one of 12 projects being advertised by the NERC-funded ECORISC (Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment Towards Sustainable Chemical Use) Centre for Doctoral Training programme. More information on the CDT can be found at: https://www.york.ac.uk/environment/postgraduate/ecorisc/. Funding will be provided for 3 years and 10 months. During this time you will work on your research project but will also receive a unique and outstanding training in pollution science and transferrable skills.Over the first two years of their PhD programme, you will receive subject-specific training, in: i) ecotoxicology; ii) environmental chemistry; iii) ecology; and iv) risk assessment; and v) core skills required for an environmental specialist. Successful completion of this training will result in the award of phase 1 of the Certified Environmental Risk Assessor qualification from the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry. The formal training programme will be complemented by yearly residential challenge events, ECORISC annual conferences and tailored specialist skills training conducted as group and individual exercises.ECORISC students will also be required to undertake two workplace experiences based with our business, policy and regulation, third sector and research organisation partners.

项目概述使用一些世界上最长和最一致的生物多样性监测数据，本项目将在自然种群动态的背景下调查化学污染物在水生无脊椎动物和鱼类种群下降中所起的作用，以支持更有效的未来监测和环境保护。项目的新奇之处：该项目将对广泛的数据集进行新的分析，以确定哪些英国水生生物正在显示出种群下降的趋势，化学应激源是罪魁祸首，哪些生物群体更容易受到化学污染的影响，以及为什么，进而支持更有效的未来监测和环境保护。您将开发的专业：这个多学科的学生项目将在生态毒理学领域提供特殊的培训，种群生物学、建模、分析化学、高级统计方法、编程和处理大数据。通过利益相关者，学生还将获得保护生物学、环境监测、化学品风险、管理以及国内和国际政策方面的深入知识。该项目还将包括通过现有的英国-日本监督伙伴关系对日本淡水鱼和无脊椎动物数据的研究，该伙伴关系将包括提供给日本的学习旅行，为学生项目和培训提供国际层面。该项目是NERC资助的ECORISC(面向可持续化学品使用的生态毒理风险评估)中心宣传的12个博士生培训项目之一。有关CDT的更多信息，请访问：https://www.york.ac.uk/environment/postgraduate/ecorisc/.资助期限为3年零10个月。在这段时间里，你将从事你的研究项目，但也将接受独特而出色的污染科学和可转移技能培训。在他们博士课程的头两年，你将接受特定学科的培训，内容包括：i)生态毒理学；ii)环境化学；iii)生态学；iv)风险评估；v)环境专家所需的核心技能。成功完成这项培训将获得环境毒理学和化学学会颁发的第一阶段认证环境风险评估员资格。除了正式的培训计划外，还将有每年一度的驻地挑战活动、ECORISC年会，以及以小组和个人练习形式进行的量身定制的专业技能培训。ECORISC的学生还将被要求与我们的商业、政策和法规、第三部门和研究组织合作伙伴进行两次工作经验。
