About this position

This PhD position at the University of Leicester is focused on investigating odour pollution associated with landfill sites, particularly those receiving gypsum. The Environmental Agency (EA) has recognized that the most serious pollution incidents are often linked to permitted non-hazardous waste sites handling gypsum, which can result in unpleasant odours and environmental concerns. The project aims to understand the mechanisms behind odour generation, assess the environmental impact, and explore potential mitigation strategies.

The research will be relevant to waste management practices, environmental monitoring, and policy development. The position is available for a September 2026 start. Details regarding funding, eligibility requirements, and application procedures are not provided in the current description.
