Postdoctoral position available at Pollution Research Group, Durban - BMGF funded project The Pollution Research Group (PRG), located at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban (South Africa) has been awarded a grant by the BMGF to establish common methods and procedures adapted to faecal sludge in the form of a book publication – "Standard Methods for Faecal Sludge Analysis". This is a collaborative project between PRG as the lead organisation and other organisations with extensive experience in the field - Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand), IHE Delft (the Netherlands) and EAWAG/SANDEC (Switzerland). This publication will provide a basis for FSM characterisation guidelines and allow for more efficient use and comparison of the data generated in this sector.
