PhD scholarship in Standardisation of Analytic Methods for Micro/nano-plastics

This PhD scholarship is offered through RMIT University's central round PhD scholarship program. The project aims to critically assess existing analytical methods and develop a harmonised, validated protocol suitable for routine monitoring of microplastics in environmental samples including soil, sediment, water, and biota. The research will focus on developing standardised methods for micro- and nanoplastics analysis to improve environmental monitoring capabilities. This scholarship provides an annual stipend and supports doctoral research in environmental science and analytical chemistry, addressing the growing concern of plastic pollution in various environmental matrices.
