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.

Under this project, the advertised position will be based at the Pollution Research Group in Durban, South Africa. The postdoctoral fellow will be involved in both field and laboratory based activities.

Candidates with a PhD in the relevant Engineering discipline (e.g. Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, Environmental Engineering, or equivalent) will be considered. Experience in the Water and Sanitation sector, particularly in developing countries, will be an asset.
