About this position

Research Fellow - Material Agency at Monash University is a Level A research appointment based at the Caulfield campus within the Faculty of Information Technology. The role contributes to an Australian Research Council Discovery Project connecting Monash University’s SensiLab with RMIT University’s Tectonic Formation Lab.

The project explores new design methodologies for controlling the spontaneous dynamics of emergent systems using artificial intelligence. The selected researcher will work on developing design processes that embed material behaviour into agent-based and machine learning computational design systems.

The research aims to generate new design knowledge through architectural and design prototypes that combine computational design, robotic craftsmanship, and biomaterials. It sits at the intersection of design research, AI-driven systems, and material behaviour, with a strong creative and experimental orientation.

The position is associated with Professor Jon McCormack in the Department of Human Centred Computing, and offers access to Monash’s research facilities, infrastructure, and collaborative environment. The project is framed as a partnership between two university labs working across computational and material-led design practice.
