About this position
This PhD project investigates the leachability and toxicity of microplastics and chemical additives from food grade baby feeding products, with a particular focus on the role of feeding behaviour. The research is part of a Cotutelle arrangement between Coventry University (UK) and Deakin University (Australia), offering candidates the opportunity to benefit from the expertise and resources of both institutions. The project is based within the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience at Coventry University, a leading centre for environmental research.
Key research areas include environmental biology and pollution, with an emphasis on understanding how microplastics and associated chemical additives migrate from baby feeding products into food and the environment. The project will employ advanced analytical techniques to assess leachability, conduct toxicity testing, and evaluate the influence of different feeding behaviours on exposure risks. The findings will contribute to improved risk assessment and inform policy on the safety of baby feeding products.
Applicants should have a strong background in environmental science, biology, chemistry, or a related field. Experience with laboratory research, analytical chemistry, or environmental monitoring is highly desirable. The project offers a unique international research experience, with the potential for collaborative work and training at both Coventry University and Deakin University.
The application deadline is 7 May 2026. For further details and to apply, visit the project page via the provided link.
