PhD Scholarship in Machine Learning-Enabled Processing and Visualization of Dissolved Metal Ion Sensing Data

Work on a CSIRO and ARC co-funded project. It is applicable to those wishing to work on the cutting-edge research of mineral resources recovery and mining site environmental management.

The PhD candidate will gain intensive knowledge in innovative processing protocols for chemical sensing and to develop data acquisition system with the Machine Learning (ML) and/or Deep Learning (DL).

This CSIRO-RMIT co-funded scholarship provides a stipend of $33,000 per annum pro rata (full-time) for three years with a possible extension of six months, and successful applicant will also be awarded a Tuition Fee Scholarship if required.

Applications are now open.

Applications will close once the candidate is appointed.

One scholarship is available. 

To be eligible for this scholarship you must:
