<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black">We are seeking applicants for a PhD research assistantship (fully funded for 4 years) on industrial air pollution and environmental justice in Canada, starting September 2019. The PhD student
would contribute to the development of a risk screening framework for industrial chemical emissions in Canada, with a focus on modelling atmospheric dispersion and chemistry. This research will contribute to an interdisciplinary analysis of disparities in
the production of, and exposure to, industrial chemicals. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
