Overview

This Environmental Health Sciences PhD programme from Masaryk University will prepare graduates with outstanding profiles for both the national and international labour markets. The graduates have broad experiences with active communication in English (that is practised during all study), carry other transferable skills and competencies learned through practical addressing of specific problems as well as own preparation and running of small projects.

The objective is to support the independent development of young researchers that contribute to the understanding of fundamental processes of chemical effects on health and ecosystems, considering the context of other external „exposome“ factors. The programme aims to prepare interdisciplinary independent personalities that are able – in addition to excellent knowledge in specific research topic - to understand the practical use of their own research outputs.

Career opportunities:

Graduates will be able to successfully work within national and international set up at institutions and universities running research programmes on chemical contamination and other environmental factors affecting ecosystems and human health, including related fields of big data analyses, mathematical biology, bioinformatics and biomedicine. In addition to research, graduates may aim to institutions involved in safety assessment and control of various environmental matrices, food safety and risk assessment.

Graduates of the programme may also actively work in the organizations controlling chemical risks, in laboratories or research departments of innovative biotechnological enterprises, in companies focusing on environmental technologies including bioremediations or in the regional or governmental authorities.

Programme Structure
