  • Fully funded and topped-up PhD scholarship in AI, biomechanics, and applied sports science - University of Southern Queensland (Aus/NZ citizens only)

    AI-driven markerless motion capture system for enhancing human motor function screening and assessment (CSIRO Industry PhD Program (iPhD))


    This PhD project aims to advance the field of human movement science by addressing the challenges encountered when developing a low-cost, automated system for screening the movement of pre-elite student-athletes. Leveraging state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI), markerless motion capture and stereo vision technologies, this research will tackle critical challenges in biomechanics and sports science.

    The overarching vision is that the developed system will integrate sport-specific performance metrics with biomechanical analyses, enabling deeper insights into motor function and movement strategies. This innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize athlete assessment, providing actionable feedback for injury prevention, performance enhancement, and tailored training programs.

    By contributing to the fields of AI, biomechanics, and applied sports science, this project offers a unique opportunity for PhD candidates to engage in interdisciplinary research with real-world impact.

    The PhD will be based at the University of Southern Queensland, Ipswich Campus. The project is a collaboration with the CSIRO while it also includes a three-month industry engagement component with the industry partner (Toowoomba Grammar School).

    Value
    • Stipend of AUD $47,000 per annum
    • Maximum period of tenure of an award is 4 years. Periods of study already undertaken towards the degree will be deducted from the period of tenure.
    • A four-year Project Expense and Development package of $13,000 per annum to cover project operating expenses and development activities. Project expenses may include lab consumables, fieldwork, attendance at top-tier conferences and other research costs.
    • A three-month industry engagement component with the industry partner.
    • A structured professional development and training program to develop your applied research skills.
    Eligibility
    • Not be receiving equivalent support providing a benefit greater than 75% of the student’s stipend rate;
    • Be an Australian citizen or Permanent Resident, or a New Zealand citizen.
    • Meet university English language requirements.
    • Not have previously completed a PhD.
    • Be able to commence the Program in the year of the offer.
    • Enrol as a full-time PhD student. Part-time arrangements may be considered if approved by the supervisory team and in accordance with university policy.
    • Be prepared to be located at the project location(s) that the host university has approved and, if required, comply with the host university’s external enrolment procedures.
    • Be prepared to undergo onboarding to CSIRO, which will include passing mandatory government background checks (allow for between 4 to 8 weeks) and complete any other CSIRO requirements.
