PhD Opportunities in Human & Environmental Toxicology, Micro/Nanoplastics, and Neurotoxicity at Instituto de Salud Carlos III Instituto de Salud Carlos III in Spain

The Toxicology Laboratory at the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) in Madrid, Spain, invites international PhD students to join their research team through home-country funded programs such as CONACYT, CAPES, CSC, DAAD, INSPIRE, or Fulbright for the 2026–27 academic years. The lab specializes in human and environmental toxicology, with research topics including micro- and nanoplastics, bisphenols, PFAS, endocrine and neurodevelopmental toxicity, and the use of zebrafish and cellular models. Opportunities are available for full PhD supervision or cotutela/sandwich PhD arrangements within European research frameworks like PARC, SETAC, and Eurotox. Applicants must secure their own funding from their home country, as ISCIII does not provide direct financial support. Interested candidates should have a background in toxicology, biology, environmental science, or related disciplines. To apply, prospective students should contact Dr. Monica Torres-Ruiz via LinkedIn to discuss potential collaboration and hosting arrangements. The lab offers a collaborative environment and access to cutting-edge research in toxicology and environmental health.
