About this position

Ulster University is offering a fully funded PhD position in Intelligent Systems, focusing on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Extended Reality (XR), and cognitive assessment. The project, titled “Attention, Memory and Movement: AI & Spatial Computing for Early Assessment,” aims to develop XR-based, AI-enabled tools to capture attention, memory, and movement patterns for the early identification of cognitive and motor impairments. This research is highly interdisciplinary, combining elements of computer science, psychology, neuroscience, and engineering.

The PhD will be supervised by Karl McCreadie (Lecturer at Ulster University), with co-supervision from James Connolly and Barry Dillon. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research environment at Ulster University, working on cutting-edge technologies in AI and spatial computing. The project is suitable for candidates with backgrounds in computing, AI, data science, engineering, psychology, or related fields, and who possess strong technical curiosity and motivation to work at the interface of technology and health assessment.

The studentship covers full tuition fees and provides a maintenance stipend, making it an attractive opportunity for those seeking to advance their research career in AI and cognitive health. The start date is September 2026, with the application deadline set for 27 February 2026. For more information and to apply, candidates should visit the provided project link. Informal queries can be directed to Karl McCreadie via LinkedIn.

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Spatial Computing, XR, Cognitive Assessment, Attention, Memory, Movement, Intelligent Systems, Data Science, Engineering, Psychology.
