About this position
A funded PhD project is available at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University in Suzhou, China, within the School of Advanced Technology. The project is titled “A Multimodal Framework for Human-Agent Collaborative Content Creation in Extended Reality” and sits at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and extended reality (XR).
The research aims to develop a novel multimodal framework for collaborative content creation in XR, using large language models (LLMs) and data-driven algorithms to generate context-aware scripts and support novice users. A key part of the project is designing an embodied intelligent agent that can interact implicitly and explicitly, helping with shot framing, capture control, and workflow guidance in immersive 3D environments. The project also explores how visualized guidance can improve creation efficiency and content quality.
The joint supervisory team includes Dr. Yue Li and Dr. Lingyun Yu at XJTLU, Professor Weizhan Zhang at Xi’an Jiaotong University, and Dr. Heba Lakany at the University of Liverpool. The programme is part of a joint doctoral supervision arrangement across XJTLU, XJTU, and the University of Liverpool, and successful students will be awarded a PhD from the University of Liverpool.
Eligibility highlights include a strong background in computer science or a related discipline, strong programming skills, and interest in XR, AI, and HCI. Applicants should have a UK first-class or upper second-class honours bachelor’s degree and a UK master’s degree with Merit, or equivalent. Exceptional bachelor-only candidates may be considered. English proficiency is required, with IELTS 6.5 or equivalent if English is not the first language. Prior research experience and publications in venues such as IEEE VR, IEEE ISMAR, and ACM CHI are preferred.
The programme is full-time and typically lasts 3 to 4 years. The tuition fee is RMB 99,000 per year. The post is described as a funded PhD project, but no stipend amount is specified.
Applications are accepted all year round. Interested applicants should email the required documents to [email protected] with the project title in the subject line.
