SALARY RANGE: A$52K - A$66K + superannuation
ROLE:
We are seeking to appoint a high-calibre Postdoctoral Research Fellow
to work within a multidisciplinary team developing advanced multimodal
natural interface technologies for effective skills training. The position
is
located at North Ryde in Sydney, Australia.
Recent advances in new technologies such as virtual environments and
natural language generation offer many new opportunities for experientially
based training. In particular, immersive environments that incorporate
haptic and audio interface components show great promise at being highly
effective and efficient in many application domains. Ideally, though, a
training environment should include a tightly integrated combination of
modalities and media for input as well as output. This fellowship will
examine this goal and aim to demonstrate the training effectiveness of
employing a tightly integrated set of advanced natural interface
technologies. A particular focus of the work will be the addition of
language to the hapto-audio-visual training environment, to provide
multimodal instruction and feedback.
The successful applicant will have a recent PhD in human computer
interaction, computational linguistics or a related discipline. Demonstrable
research skills in natural language technologies or computer graphics will
be advantageous and a proven ability to program in C++, Python, and Lisp
highly desirable. The fellowship offers a great opportunity to collaborate
with scientists from CSIRO research teams studying virtual environments,
intelligent interactive technologies, and telecollaboration. A comprehensive
3 year development plan will be provided ensuring that over the period of
the fellowship you will develop skills, partnerships and networks, which are
valued both within CSIRO and industry.
