2011 NCED PhD Supplementary Scholarship

Overview

The National Centre of Excellence in Desalination (NCED) leads and coordinates Australia’s research in desalination technology. Through the NCED, Australia is building national capacity and capabilities in desalination with a dual focus on breakthrough fundamental and applied research with a goal of delivering meaningful improvements at commercial scale.

In 2011, the NCED has available a PhD supplementary scholarship for one outstanding student at each of the 12 universities participating in the NCED: Murdoch University, Curtin University of Technology, Deakin University, Edith Cowan University, Flinders University, Monash University, The University of New South Wales, The University of Queensland, University of South Australia, University of Technology, Sydney, Victoria University and The University of Western Australia (the university Participating Organisations).

NCED PhD supplementary scholarships will be offered to highly ranked PhD students holding either an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) or other recognised Commonwealth scholarship for full‐time research leading to the award of a PhD.
Total value of the NCED PhD supplementary scholarship will be up to $30,000 (tax exempt) for three years full‐time with a maximum payable rate of $10,000 per annum.


Applications are invited from doctoral candidates whose area of postgraduate research contributes to the field of desalination and aligns with the NCED’s Research Roadmap: http://desalination.edu.au/research/research‐strategy/. Research candidates from any field of study, with a research project looking at an aspect of desalination, should apply.
