PhD scholarship Methane emissions from wastewater treatment

This project aims to quantify methane emissions from wastewater treatment plants. The expected outcomes are improved understanding of methane emissions from within the plant, their spatial and temporal variability, and how they contribute to the total emissions. This may reduce emissions of methane. The CSIRO Industry PhD Program (iPhD) is a research training program, focusing on applied research that benefits industry by solving real-world challenges. It aims to produce the next generation of innovation leaders with the skills to work at the interface of research and industry in Australia. The scholarship provides admission to RMIT University PhD program, a four-year scholarship valued at $47,000 per annum, a project expense and development package of up to $13,000 per annum, supervision by CSIRO, an industry partner and the host university, a 60-day Industry Engagement component with the industry partner, and a structured professional development and training package.
