2013-2014 Cardiff University President’s Research Scholarship in UK

Cardiff University and Northumbria Water offer research scholarship for UK/EU and international students in UK. Scholarship is provided for research upon engineering aspects of a novel recovery orientated treatment system. Candidates should have a first-class honours degree, or a 2.1 plus a postgraduate Masters degree (or their equivalents) in a relevant subject. Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language (IELTS 6.5 or equivalent). The award will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU fee rate and will provide a stipend at the UK Research Council rate (£13,726 in 2013/14), plus an enhancement of £1,000 per annum. Overseas candidates will be required to fund the balance of fees at the overseas rate themselves. 
About Scholarship: Eutrophication caused by excess P loading poses serious environmental risk to freshwater bodies around the world. To prevent eutrophication, legislation on P discharge is becoming stricter and water companies, in particular, now face additional requirements to reduce P concentration in their final effluents to ultra-low levels. Fundamentally, P removal from wastewater effluents can be achieved using chemical precipitation or biological processes.
However, it is technically difficult or economically undesirable for both techniques to enhance P removal to achieve ultra-low P concentrations. Moreover, the ratification of the EU Water Framework Directive requires all member states to put measures in place to achieve good chemical and biological status in controlled waters using sustainable management techniques. Thus the challenge remains how to achieve ultra-low effluent P concentrations using techniques that can meet current and proposed future limits while still benefiting the environment.
