Launched in a landmark partnership with the Government of Western Australia, Wesfarmers Chemicals, Energy & Fertilisers (WesCEF), and Accenture, the Faculty Fellowship creates an elite pathway between education and industry, ensuring exceptional STEM graduates can develop deep AI expertise in Australia. As a Fellow, you will learn directly from leading AI practitioners and be embedded within some of the most important organisations to apply frontier AI to critical, high-stakes industrial and public-sector challenges.

How it works:

• 2 Weeks of Intensive Training: Learn to apply your advanced technical knowledge to real-world data science problems.
• 6 Week Paid Placement: Tackle a commercial data science project with a host company.
• Demo Day Finale: Present your work to senior stakeholders and industry leaders, showcasing your technical capabilities and project impact.

Fellowship alumni have gone on to shape the future at companies like Google, Meta, Tesco, and AstraZeneca, as well as disruptive startups like PhysicsX and Orbital Witness

As a Fellow at Faculty, you will join an elite cohort transforming industries through cutting-edge data science. This intensive, eight-week programme bridges academia and real-world impact, embedding you directly into high-stakes commercial environments. You will apply advanced machine learning techniques to solve complex, ambiguous problems for our clients, turning theoretical knowledge into high-value deployable solutions. It is a fast-paced launchpad designed to accelerate your technical growth, build exceptional commercial acumen, and empower you to shape the future of artificial intelligence in an ambitious, forward-thinking tech community.

Supported by the Western Australian Government, including Defence West, the Fellowship is an opportunity for exceptional STEM talent to develop their technical and commercial capabilities in applied AI and data science.
