DLab

Visiting Us

If you are a current PhD student, we can provide some financial support for you to spend 2 or 3 months in Brisbane to work on a joint collaborative research project.
The DLab Visiting Students Scheme supports high calibre research students to spend 8-12 weeks working with DLab researchers to conduct joint research work on areas of mutual interest.
Successful applicants will be based at The University of Queensland (UQ) in Brisbane. They are provided with funding support via a lump sum to partially cover living costs and return airfares. The scheme is primarily intended for PhD students who have already passed their Qualification Exam at their respective university, however exceptions may be made for Masters or Bachelor students who demonstrate strong research and development expertise to the assessment panel. Applicants’ main research expertise is to be aligned with data science and in particular with the research specialisations of DLab.

DLab funding offered:

AUD $5,000 for an 8-week visit, or
AUD $6,000 for a 12-week visit

Application materials
The student should provide the following, sent as one PDF file to the contact address (below):
