• These conditions may change when the 2025 call for applications is opened.EMERGING is a research project dedicated to study the interaction between contaminants of emerging concerns such as micronanoplastics (MNPs), antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) and genes (ARGs) as well as the removal efficiency of these emerging contaminants by membrane-based hybrid treatment technologies from wastewaters.
  
  

In addition, in line with the One Health approach, EMERGING will generate frontier knowledge on the water and sludge quality assessment for agricultural use, evaluating the effect of MNPs, ARBs and ARGs on the growth of crops.

The objective of the doctoral thesis that will be developed with the support of the Ramón Areces Grant will be focused on the study of effluents from membrane bioreactors (permeate and sludge) that have treated wastewater containing microplastics and their impact on the growth of crops.WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SEND US NOW?If you are interest to apply to the Grant for Doctoral Theses in Life and Matter Sciences funded by Ramón Areces Foundation with us, please submit to ****** , indicating "Grant for Ramón Areces Foundation expression of interest - MEMTECH" in the subject of the email, the following documents:an updated CV, in Spanish or English.an official transcript of grades with the academic record that includes the student's first and last name(s), the university, the studies completed and all subjects and grades, year by year.
