PhD opportunity at the University of Sydney in the Early-life Microbiome and Immunity group led by Archita Mishra . The project explores the foundations of human immunity before birth and how the developing immune system is shaped during fetal life. Research themes include immunology , microbiome , human development , and fetal development , with methods such as spatial transcriptomics , single-cell approaches , and tissue imaging . This is a strong fit for students interested in developmental b...

Fully funded 3.5-year PhD opportunity at the University of Melbourne , School of Computing and Information Systems, in Australia . Research topic: Strategy extraction and generalisation for AI agents . The project focuses on developing new methods for AI agents to learn strategic knowledge from observed behaviour and transfer that knowledge to new tasks with different representations. The work builds on sequence alignment techniques, ontological reasoning, strategy transfer, and policy learning....

PhD opportunity at The University of Newcastle , Australia, in Hierarchical Imitation Learning for Long-Horizon Robotic Tasks . This project develops a novel framework combining hierarchical imitation learning and reinforcement learning to help robots complete long-horizon, multi-step tasks such as production line assembly and household chores. The research focuses on learning high-level subgoals from demonstrations and low-level control policies for execution, with validation through continuous...

PhD Scholarship at the University of Newcastle, Australia in Media Representation & Public Perception of RNA Vaccines and Therapeutics in Australia . This project examines how RNA vaccines and therapeutics have been portrayed in Australian media and how those messages shape public understanding, trust, and attitudes. The research sits at the intersection of strategic communication , sociology , public health messaging , and digital media analysis , with an emphasis on both qualitative and quanti...

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 ...
