Scholarships and Top-ups at ANU

he Australian National University Water Initiative and CSIRO Land and Water have developed a Network to address the need for doctoral training in hydrological and other catchment modelling and methods to support Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM).

We are seeking high quality students to enrol in a PhD program in IWRM at the ANU under the supervision of experts at Australia’s two leading research institutions. Top-up scholarships are available for those successful with APAs or equivalent funds (see icam.anu.edu.au/ANU-CSIRONetwork), as well as a limited number of full scholarships.

Students will have a strong background and research interest in one or more areas including mathematics, engineering, model integration, hydrology, ecology, economics, psychology, sociology, participatory processes and environmental science. Optional coursework is available within the new Master of Environment degree which has specialisations in Water Science and Management, and Integrated Assessment Modelling. Short-term international exchanges with leading partner institutions can form part of the PhD program.

Applications close November 13, 2007.

Contact: Applicants should contact the Network Coordinators, Professor Tony Jakeman or Dr Francis Chiew, to discuss project proposals before submitting an application.
