PhD study

I am always keen to supervise intelligent, highly motivated students in all areas of computer vision and machine learning, though note that my capacity to take on new students is very limited.

Applications must be formally made through the University of Adelaide (see this link. Note that the University offers scholarships (both national and international) but I also occasionally have designated funds for PhD studentships including either or both of fees and living allowance. Specific opportunities will be highlighted on this page.

Visiting / Internships

If you are interested in visiting my lab for a short period such as for one year, or even for a summer internship, please contact me directly stating clearly the earea in which you want to work and providing your CV and degree transcripts to date. In the past I have only accepted one or two such applications per annum and been quite selective, and at present my capacity yt osupervise is even more limuted by my role as Head of School. Neverthelss I have a team of excellent postdocs who are also keen to supervise. There are presently no bench fees or visiting student fees payable, but you should be aware of the cost of living in Australia, which is quite high. I am unlikely to be able to offer financial assistance.

Jobs / Employment / Postdocs

I regularly recruit outstanding individuals to work as postdoctroal research fellows. If you are seeking employment please check the ACVT website and the University recruitment pages to see what opportunities are currently available within the group. If I am currently advertising something it will appear below, but that does not mean it is not worth contactin g me.
