The National Urban Water Governance Program, Monash University, is delighted to announce four exciting new postgraduate research opportunities available in 2009.

Scholarships are available for two PhD students and two Masters (by research) students which have been generously funded through the Program’s Industry partnerships.  Each tax-free scholarship also has a dedicated research and travel allowance.  This unique opportunity will allow four candidates the opportunity to contribute towards understanding the changing face of urban water governance in Australia and internationally. The successful candidates will work closely together on their individual projects and have the opportunity to draw on the expertise of the broader National Urban Water Governance Program team. While the general scope of each project has been developed, each student will have the opportunity to refine this with guidance from their supervisors.

Applications must be submitted by 6th March 2009
