“Applicants must be Australian Citizens or an Australian Permanent Resident.”

Right?

So LDS has got your back. Here’s a list of vacation and summer internships as well as graduate programs that are closing fairly soon. All of these programs either have a named data science stream or have a heavy focus on implementing big data analytics.

Their applications have now closed for the 2019/20 season. But remember you have 12-24 months to apply after you graduate.
