About this position

This PhD scholarship is based at Monash University’s Clayton campus in Melbourne and sits within a Monash AI Institute collaboration between the Arts and IT faculties. The project investigates communication and navigation for blind and low vision people, with a particular focus on how people interact with digital navigational technologies and use multimodal information to build a navigational frame of reference.

The student will carry out detailed linguistic and multimodal research on real-world orientation and mobility experiences. The project draws on video ethnography, interviews, and focus groups with blind and low vision people to better understand how digital technologies are integrated into environmental navigation and what users want from these systems.

The successful applicant will join an active research team examining broader issues around digital technologies for orientation and mobility, including the role of artificial intelligence in such systems. The scholarship is embedded in a larger program of work, giving the student access to an existing research agenda, opportunities to contribute to co-authored publications, community engagement activities, and future grant applications.

The research environment is described as strong and supportive, with expertise across linguistics, multimodality, social science, and inclusive technology in IT. The project is located within a well-resourced university context and offers integration into a collaborative team working on technology, communication, and accessibility for blind and low vision communities.

Funding details

Research Living Allowance of $37,145 AUD per annum (2026 full-time rate, tax-free stipend), indexed plus allowances under RTP stipend scholarship conditions; tuition fee scholarship and Single Overseas Health Cover (OSHC) for a successful international awardee; additional support for fieldwork, transcription, travel, and conference attendance is mentioned.
