We are seeking candidates to join the PhD program of the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) at the ANU. Successful candidates will join the new Talo Computational Talent Accelerator of the JCSMR to apply knowledge and research skills from computer science to address biomedical problems. We offer PhD scholarships for intellectually curious and high-performing students with a thirst for cross-disciplinary learning and impact in health and biology.

Over a four-year program, PhD scholars will engage in computational biology research at the JCSMR. The program will include focused training on Biology, Genomics, and Biological Data Analysis, as well as outreach activities to undergraduate and masters students. Additional soft-skill training will be available, with a special focus on effective partnerships with biomedical scientists.
