March 16, 2001
The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology has funding for postgraduate scholarships at Masters and PhD level with Griffith University, Monash University and The University of Melbourne.
The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology has funding for postgraduate scholarships at Masters and PhD level with Griffith University, Monash University and The University of Melbourne as follows:
á Full scholarships comparable in value to the Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) levels (currently $17,071 per year maximum). For exceptional candidates prepared to work on priority projects, an industry-based loading of $3,000 to $5,000 may be payable.
á Top-up scholarships of $3000 to $5000 per year to supplement APA or similar scholarships/awards.
The Centre brings together expertise and resources from Brisbane City Council, Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO Land and Water, Dept Land and Water Conservation NSW, Dept Natural Resources and Mines Qld, Dept of Natural Resources and Environment Vic, Griffith University, Goulburn-Murray Water, Melbourne Water, Monash University, Murray-Darling Basin Commission, Southern Rural Water, The University of Melbourne, and Wimmera Mallee Water.
The major aim of this Centre is to give land and water managers the capability to predict the hydrologic impacts of catchment management for our highly variable climate and environment,.
To meet national objectives in land and water management, the Centre has projects in the research programs:
á Predicting catchment behaviour
á Land-use impacts on rivers
á Sustainable water allocation
á Urban stormwater quality
á Climate variability
á River restoration
The Centre's research approach includes demonstration sites, and the interaction of industry co-supervisors in postgraduate work.
Some of the postgraduate positions may be co-located at CSIRO Canberra, and at other sites including Brisbane, Melbourne. and Sydney.
Multi-disciplinary collaboration is encouraged in the Centre's research, and applications are invited from graduates with relevant qualifications (including engineering, geography, resource/socio-economics, earth sciences and mathematics). (Please note positions are open to Australian or New Zealand citizens or Permanent Residents of Australia only.)
