The Latest Scholarship News

There are two scholarships available in this project. These scholarships are funded by an ARC Linkage-Projects grant and will provide support for 3 years on a full-time basis for two research projects leading to PhDs. This is a national research project that aims to carry out a comprehensive and in-depth study on understanding and abatement of sewer corrosion focusing on assessment of repair and coating materials for sewers and review of the emerging designs of pipes to minimise the impact of corrosion. Two specific types of coatings will be considered: permanent and sacrificial coatings. The project will create advanced knowledge and innovative technologies to support the Australian water industry in achieving efficient and cost-effective sewer management.

These projects will be conducted in collaboration with University of Queensland and Newcastle University, Department of Chemical Engineering and with the following council and water industries: Brisbane City Council, CH2M HILL, Gold Coast Water, SA Water, South East Water Limited, Sydney Water Corporation, United Water and Water Corporation.

Applicants should have an Honours 1 degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Biochemistry or Chemical Engineering. Experience/background in waste water treatment would be an advantage. The scholarship stipend is $31627 pa (tax exempt). For further information of this project, please contact our
