Australian Research Council Linkage Project

Melbourne Metrics, a social purpose initiative of the University of Melbourne, is inviting applications for two PhD scholarship research higher degree positions under the Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Project Matching for Success.

The project is a large-scale national research initiative focused on improving how pathways from school to university are assessed and recognised. Successful candidates will work with leading researchers in educational assessment and policy, contributing to research that aims to rethink tertiary admissions and strengthen student transitions into higher education.

This opportunity is especially relevant for applicants interested in equity in tertiary admissions, Australian education policy, and broader questions around access, fairness, and evidence-informed admissions practices.

Applications are encouraged from both domestic and international candidates with relevant experience or background in the field. The post notes that entry to the University of Melbourne's research degree programs is highly competitive and directs applicants to the university website for eligibility requirements.

Funding is described as a scholarship-based research higher degree opportunity, but no stipend amount, tuition coverage, or deadline is specified in the post.

Interested candidates should review the project information at the provided link and consult the University of Melbourne eligibility guidance before applying.
