The Water Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-WRI) is leading a consortium of Nine partners (CSIR-Food Research Institute, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana Hydrological Services Department, Ghana Meteorological Agency, SIRCOOL Bottled Water Company, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland, Aarhus University, and Central Queensland University) to implement the project “Building Climate Resilience into Basin Water Management” (CREAM) in the Pra and Densu River Basins in Ghana. Funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, CREAM is a five-year project aimed at creating a knowledge base and capacity for integrating climate change, shared socioeconomic pathways, land-use/-cover change and other future development scenarios into river basin management to enhance climate resilience, livelihood, water-food-energy security, and environmental conservation.
Successful candidates will be enrolled and begin their studies in relevant graduate programmes at either the University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology or the University of Cape Coast in the 2019/2020 academic year. The PhD training is an important component of the CREAM project, and therefore, successful candidates are expected to develop their research within the relevant work packages of the project; work with relevant project partners in Ghana, Denmark and Australia; spend significant portion of their time working from the lead institution (CSIR-WRI); and contribute to the overall delivery of the CREAM project.
