Environmental chemistry Fellowship (BI/Master) in Portugal

The environmental risk of metal mixtures will be assessed using a unicellular alga. The work aims to:

1) quantify the dynamic metal speciation of single metals and metal mixtures in presence of small ligands.

2) study the bioaccumulation of the single metals and the metal mixtures in the presence of the ligands using the alga: evaluation of the rate limiting step on the uptake.

3) characterize the water samples collected on the Tagus estuary (Portugal).

4) determine the bioaccumulation of the metal mixtures in the presence of the water collected on the Tagus estuary (Portugal) using the alga.

Neuroscience supports for innovative research

Awards are given to exceptional young scientists who hold the M.D. and/or Ph.D. degree and who are in the early stages of establishing an independent laboratory and research career. Traditionally, successful candidates have held faculty positions for at least one year. Up to six McKnight Scholars each will receive three years of support, beginning July 1, 2012.
