EPA Fellowship on Alternatives for Assessing Toxicity of Environmental Contaminants to Aquatic Organisms U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in United States

This research opportunity at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota focuses on the aquatic toxicity, uptake, and partitioning of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The project examines how broad classes of PFAS behave in aquatic systems, how they accumulate in biota, and how they partition in biphasic systems such as octanol/water. Working with EPA scientists and co-mentors Will Backe and Ian Mundy, the participant will contribute to experimental design, sampling ...

This EPA fellowship is based at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in Duluth, Minnesota, within the Risk Assessment Support division and the broader Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention research effort. The project addresses a key challenge in high-throughput toxicity testing: how to better quantify what test organisms are actually exposed to in small multi-well plate systems, where chemical partitioning, volatility, and transformation can cause measured concentrations to differ from n...
