[robocup-nao] PhD Scholarships: IBM-UTS Smarter Planet Project

[Mary-Anne Williams]

At the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), you can challenge yourself
by undertaking PhD studies in artificial intelligence. In this role, you
will explore some of the deepest problems of intelligence yet see your work
make a real difference in practical systems.

The IBM-UTS Smarter Planet
Project<http://innovation.it.uts.edu.au/lab/project.html> is
offering three scholarships to Australian or international candidates. The
scholarship is paid as a tax-exempt $24,653 annual stipend to help cover
your living expenses for a maximum of 3.5 years. Tuition fees for
successful Australian candidates will be covered by the Research Training
Scheme. International candidates may be eligible for an International
Research Scholarship that covers tuition fees.

These scholarships will support PhD research projects that address real world
problems using software, intelligent robots, and connected environments.
The objective of the IBM-UTS Smarter Planet
Project<http://innovation.it.uts.edu.au/lab/project.html> is
to develop novel approaches to constructing intelligent systems that
engage seamlessly
with users and enable new forms of social interaction. Projects may involve
robotics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, data analytics,
social computing, human-robot interaction and the internet of things.

A PhD is rewarding like no ordinary job. You will help create the future at the
same time as developing your research skills and preparing you for the next
phase of your career. You will work in the vibrant Innovation and Enterprise
Research Laboratory (the "magic lab") with access to state-of-the-art
technologies, including Australia's only PR2 robot. The research
environment is stimulating but relaxed and your colleagues will be highly
motivated and skilled researchers. In addition, you will have the opportunity
to work with senior research leaders in IBM.

We are looking for motivated, resourceful and imaginative people to join
us. Normally a Masters or high Honours degree in a relevant field of
science, IT or engineering is required but in rare circumstances
exceptional candidates without such qualifications are admitted. You do not
need to have any specialized knowledge or experience but a high level of
skill in software engineering is expected.

The position is located at the UTS's Broadway campus, just minutes walk
from Central Station and Chinatown.
