The suitable candidate will be supported by a full scholarship, including a tuition waiver and living allowance. Additionally, the successful candidate will also receive a Data61 top-up scholarship, which includes a $10K per annum top-up, $5K of research support over the candidature period, and access to expertise from RMIT and Data61 to support your research.
