OPTIMA is seeking expressions of interest for fully-funded PhD projects with generous top-up scholarships. PhD projects are 3.5 years, including a one-year equivalent industry placement, the timing of which can be negotiated.

We’re looking for talented students with a background in mathematics, computer science, statistics, economics, engineering or other related fields. These positions are offered across OPTIMA’s nodes located at Monash University or The University of Melbourne. Projects will be available from July 2021 onwards; more projects will become available throughout the life of the Centre. An expression of interest (EOI) must be submitted before prospective PhD students are invited to apply for admission through their selected university. You must meet the admission requirements of our node universities.
