At the University of Technology, Sydney
(UTS), you can challenge yourself by undertaking PhD studies in artificial
intelligence. In this role, you will explore some of the deepest problems of
intelligence yet see your work make a
real difference in practical systems.
The IBM-UTS Smarter Planet Project is offering three scholarships to Australian or international candidates. The scholarship is paid as a tax-exempt $24,653 annual stipend to help cover your living expenses for a maximum of 3.5 years. Tuition fees for successful Australian candidates will be covered by the Research Training Scheme. International candidates may be eligible for an International Research Scholarship that covers tuition fees.
These scholarships will support PhD research projects that address real world problems using software, intelligent robots, and connected environments. The objective of the IBM-UTS Smarter Planet Project is to develop novel approaches to constructing intelligent systems that engage seamlessly with users and enable new forms of social interaction. Projects may involve artificial intelligence, formal logic, computational law, cognitive science, data analytics, social computing, robotics and the internet of things.
A PhD is rewarding like no ordinary job. You will help create the future at the same time as developing your research skills and preparing you for the next phase of your career. You will work in the vibrant Innovation and Enterprise Research Laboratory (the "Magic Lab") with access to state-of-the-art technologies, including Australia's only PR2 robot. The research environment is stimulating but relaxed and your colleagues will be highly motivated and skilled researchers. In addition, you will have the opportunity to work with senior research leaders in IBM.
We are looking for motivated, resourceful and imaginative people to join us. Normally a Masters or high Honours degree in a relevant field of science, IT or engineering is required but in rare circumstances exceptional candidates without such qualifications are admitted. You do not need to have any specialized knowledge or experience but a high level of skill in software engineering is expected.
The position is located at the UTS's Broadway campus, just minutes walk from Central Station and Chinatown.
To apply:
Send an email with your resume, cover letter and academic transcript to phd@themagiclab.org.
