The University of Melbourne's Human Robotics Lab and Human Computer Interaction group are recruiting for one postdoctoral Research Associate and two PhD students to join the ARC Discovery Project: Robotic Trainers for a Skilled Workforce of the Future. This interdisciplinary project is led by Denny Oetomo, Wafa Johal, Jonathan Eden, and Vassilis Kostakos, and focuses on human-robot interaction, robotics, machine learning, human motor learning, and XR technologies. The available positions include a 24-month postdoctoral fellowship and two PhD studentships. The research will be conducted within the Mechanical Engineering department, with a strong emphasis on robotics, mechatronics, and human-computer interaction. The project aims to advance the field of human-robot interaction and develop robotic trainers to enhance workforce skills for the future. Applicants for the PhD positions should have a background in robotics, mechatronics, computer science, or related fields, with experience in machine learning or human-robot interaction considered an asset. The postdoctoral position requires a PhD in a relevant discipline. The application process for the postdoctoral role is via the University of Melbourne's recruitment portal, while PhD applicants should email their CV and transcripts to the listed supervisors with the subject 'ARC DP26'.
