Supported students will have the option of pursuing a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering through the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering or Environment and Resources through the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies. The ideal applicant will have a STEM based undergraduate degree with a significant focus on quantitative work. Although some experience with life cycle assessment and/or techno economic assessment is preferred, it is not required.
