PhD in Environmental Sciences

This PhD studentship will investigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bathing waters, focusing on relationships between AMR markers, metagenomic endpoints, and conventional microbial indicators used for water quality classification. The project aims to assess the validity of current monitoring practices and identify gaps in risk assessment. The Doctoral Researcher will influence the research direction and will receive training in environmental metagenomics, AMR surveillance, and data analysis.
