Grant Description

A PhD project at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Water Infrastructure and Resilience (WIRe).

This exciting fully funded PhD, with an enhanced stipend of £19,000 per annum, will deliver strategies to increase the resilience of drinking water supply to shortages in chemical availability by providing alternatives to conventional delivery of treatment.

This research requires fundamental science to look at water processes from a new perspective to develop a new strategy to increase drinking water treatment resilience.

This is an experimental project where the successful candidate will work closely with Anglian Water's and Thames Water's Innovation teams to deliver the outputs of the project.
