About this position
Funded PhD opportunity at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) in collaboration with the University of Oxford on Designing Fair and Democratic AI Systems.
The project sits at the intersection of Computer Science, Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, and Computational Social Choice. The research aims to build the mathematical and algorithmic foundations of democratic AI by developing new axioms of representation and proportionality, then designing algorithms for clustering, data selection, multi-agent allocation, preference aggregation, and alignment of large language models.
Supervision is by Professor Haris Aziz (UNSW, primary supervisor), Associate Professor Markus Brill (University of Oxford, co-supervisor), and Professor Michael Wooldridge (University of Oxford, external mentor). The project also includes a research placement at Oxford and a Global Mobility Grant for research visits.
Funding is strong: a stipend of $39,991 per year for 3.5 years plus a $25,000 one-off Global Mobility Grant. This is a scholarship-based PhD opportunity through the UNSW Scientia PhD Scholarship Scheme.
Eligibility is limited to Australian domestic applicants only. Applicants should have a first or upper second class Honours degree, a completed Master by Research, or an equivalent qualification. A strong background in computer science and mathematics is preferred, especially for candidates interested in theory, algorithms, fairness, and responsible AI.
To apply, email [email protected] with your CV, official academic transcripts, a short introduction about your fit for the project, and a note on your interest in the project and the supervisors’ expertise. Full details are available via the linked opportunity page.
