CRC CARE PhD Fellowship
CRC CARE Pty Ltd was established under the Federal Government's CRC
Program in 2005 to bring together Australia's foremost expertise in
science, industry and government in a partnership for the
development, commercialisation and extension of advanced
technologies and methods for:
- Assessing contamination risks in land, groundwater and
air;
- Managing and/or remediating contamination;
- Developing safe options for land use and the reuse of wastes on
land;
- Developing solutions that are acceptable to regulatory agencies
and the community; and
- Capacity building.
CRC CARE Pty Ltd invites applications for two PhD Fellowships
from students who have consistently achieved a high level of
academic performance and are keen to study for a PhD degree in
environmental risk assessment and remediation.
Candidates with either upper second class or first class
Honours; Masters in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering are
encouraged to apply.
The successful candidates will work on a collaborative project
funded by the Australian Department of Defence and CRC CARE. The
successful candidates will be enrolled with the University of South
Australia, and be located at the university's Mawson Lakes
Campus.
The research project will focus on the remediation of lead
contaminated soils. The candidates will be expected to carry out
detailed laboratory and field based investigations on the nature of
lead interactions with soil colloid particles from different
long-term firing range contaminated sites including bioavailability
assessment and the development of options for remediating lead
contaminated sites.
To support the successful candidates, two full
scholarships up to the value of $28,500 pa (tax free) will be
provided by CRC CARE, along with additional project and
professional development support.
