PhD Research Intern

You are a PhD student at an Australian university, currently residing in Australia, and graduating after September 2026. We Are Our interests are broad — interactive media using Machine Learning/AI, data science of media, cloud implementations of media processing and delivery, and explorations of audio-video content creation for immersive media such as XR. We will work with you in the first two weeks of the project to refine the research topic and develop a plan that leverages your competencies to produce novel research that is fun and exciting. We will encourage publication of the output of your project in an appropriate conference or journal. * Technical Background AI / Machine learning systems, preferably with application to audio, video, text, and multimedia Multimodal / cross-modal representation learning Trustworthy and explainable AI Generative AI for media creation 3D deep learning (including NeRF, Gaussian Splatting, etc.) Spatial computing for 6DoF multimedia Perceptual and interactive multimedia computing Human-computer interfaces and AI applications Multimodal and immersive audio and video creation We are interested in PhD research candidates from Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Science, Music Technology, Media Technology, or Media Content Creation. We are not prescriptive of skill sets, but it is useful if the research intern has ability in using appropriate tools — e.g., a project in machine learning may require programming in Python or MATLAB, or a project in XR creation may use Max/MSP or Final Cut / Logic Pro. Most importantly, we are looking for the ability to creatively explore and design experiments to uncover new and interesting learnings in media.
