Each year JCSMR may offer up to four awards known as the Taiyang and Loong PhD Scholarship.

The objectives of the Scholarships are to apply the highest level of computer science and computational knowledge to many of the unsolved problems facing biological and health scientists today.  Successful candidates will accelerate knowledge and skills development and cultivate an entrepreneurial research and learning environment. 

The value of this Scholarship for 2023 is $44,000 per annum per successful candidate. Funding for this Award has been provided by Taiyang Zhang and Loong Wang, as part of the Talo Computational Biology Talent Accelerator.

For inquiry on projects and suitability, prospective applicants should contact potential supervisors from the Centre of Computational Biomedical Sciences (CCBS). Formal applications are done through the JCSMR PhD application page.
