Communities</font></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Bivalves are a vital part of the diet for many coastal
communities, and contaminants like PFAS pose a significant threat to human
health through seafood consumption. Join Dr. Li’s group at the University of
Delaware and dive into critical research on the bioaccumulation and ecotoxicity
of PFAS in shellfish. The project is funded by USDA and involves a field
investigation and laboratory and field experiments on bivalve shellfish. This Position
is available immediately.</span></p>
