DArT PhD internship

The DArT PhD internship is a fully-funded internship opportunity offered by Diversity Arrays Technology Pty Ltd (DArT), an internationally recognised company pioneering affordable genome profiling in agricultural and ecological sectors. Founded in 2001 and based in Canberra with locations at both ANU and the University of Canberra, DArT seeks PhD students to help develop new products and services in genomics and data analysis. Successful candidates will receive an internship stipend of $20,000 for a 6-month, full-time project with DArT. The internship provides hands-on experience in high throughput genotyping, genomic data production, and machine learning capabilities. DArT also has a humanitarian mission to help build food security, capacity, and diversity in regions with limited resources, especially in Africa and South-East Asia. These internship opportunities are available to ANU PhD students who have completed at least one year of full-time candidature and have had their Thesis Proposal Review approved prior to commencing the internship. DArT is particularly interested in students with backgrounds in Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Statistical Genetics, Population Genetics/Genomics, Ecological & Agricultural Research, and General Data Analysis & Modelling. Programming skills in R and/or Python are preferred but not essential. Shortlisted candidates will be required to attend a short interview with DArT, and successful candidates will require written approval from their supervisors. The internship provides valuable career development opportunities and industry partnership experience in genomics and biotechnology.
