NRF (EWT) PhD Scholarship


With the escalating global emphasis on environment and water issues, the environment & water industry in Singapore is growing increasingly vibrant. Singapore is well-placed to take the lead in this industry as a R&D base and a provider of environment and water solutions. The Environment & Water Industry Development Council (EWI) promotes environment & water R&D and industry development in Singapore and envisions increasing opportunities for career, R&D and exciting new technologies. As part of the talent grooming to support this fast-rising industry, the National Research Foundation (NRF), through the EWI, is providing PhD scholarships to develop experts in Environment and Water Technologies (EWT) - the NRF (EWT)PhD scholarships. Please refer to website source: http://ijc.brightsparks.com.sg/profile/ewi/index.php for information.

NEWRI is pleased to invite your interest in the following list of research domains. To allow for a richer research experience, aside from guidance by a NTU professor within the NEWRI ecosystem, arrangements have been made for the successful applicant to also benefit from guidance by a co-supervisor from another research intensive institution. Efforts shall be made to allow such a PhD candidate to spend time at the co-supervisor’s laboratory.


For more information, applicants may email
ExecDir-NEWRI@ntu.edu.sg. They shall then be put in touch with the appropriate NTU supervisor who shall guide them through the application process and discussions with the co-supervisor.
