Fully Funded PhD Opportunities in Carbon Capture and Water Treatment Materials at RMIT University RMIT University in Australia

Two fully funded PhD opportunities are available at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, within the Department of Chemical Engineering.

The projects focus on two environmentally important research areas: carbon capture using advanced porous and functional materials, and advanced water treatment technologies through the development of novel adsorbent materials. Successful candidates will carry out original doctoral research involving experimental design, material synthesis and characterisation, data analysis, seminar participation, collaboration with the research team, conference presentations, and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Relevant study areas include Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Environmental Science, and Chemistry. Applicants should hold a Master’s degree in one of these fields or a closely related discipline. The post also looks for candidates with strong motivation for PhD research, knowledge of analytical chemistry, laboratory experience, and skills in chemical synthesis, material preparation, and experimentation. Experience with characterisation methods such as XRD, SEM, BET, FTIR, TGA, and XPS is desirable.

Funding is described as fully funded, but no stipend amount or tuition breakdown is given. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact the researcher directly by email for further details and application guidance.
