If you are interested in forging a career in civil engineering and keen to help develop greener methods of concrete production, the University of South Australia – Australia’s University of Enterprise – is offering a hands-on, cutting-edge project-based PhD within Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management (SIRM).

In this project-based research degree, you will help develop carbon-negative concrete using two typical industrial wastes. You will gain in-depth knowledge on developing industrial waste materials, learn about sustainable practices, and understand how to work with green construction materials.  

Upon completion of your studies, you will have advanced knowledge of materials and a greater understanding of how technology can assist in sustainable construction activities. These in-demand attributes and your hands-on experience with using sophisticated equipment and technology will place you in a prime position post-graduation.

This project is funded for reasonable research expenses. Additionally, a living allowance scholarship of $32,500 per annum is available to Australian and New Zealand citizens, and permanent residents of Australia, including permanent humanitarian visa holders. Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants will be eligible to receive an increased stipend rate of $50,291 per annum. A fee-offset or waiver for the standard term of the program is also included
