Job Summary
Who Are You
You are a PhD student at an Australian university currently residing in Australia and graduating after September 2026.
We Are
Dolbys Advanced Technology Group in Sydney creates cutting-edge audio video and multimodal technologies that drive next-generation experiences.
Our interests are broad interactive media using Machine Learning/AI data science of media cloud implementations of media processing and delivery and explorations of audio-video content creation for immersive media such as XR.
In this internship you will spend four months with Dolby Australia researchers to investigate a cutting-edge topic. We will work with you in the first two weeks of the project to refine the research topic and develop a plan that leverages your competencies to produce novel research that is fun and exciting. We will encourage publication of the output of your project in an appropriate conference or journal.
Technical Background
AI / Machine learning systems preferably with application to audio video text and multimedia
Multimodal / cross-modal representation learning
Trustworthy and explainable AI
Generative AI for media creation
3D deep learning (including NeRF Gaussian Splatting etc.)
Spatial computing for 6DoF multimedia
Perceptual and interactive multimedia computing
Human-computer interfaces and AI applications
Multimodal and immersive audio and video creation
Project Areas
Live events or sports
Data provenance attribution and authenticity
Creating and controlling audio video textual or multimedia content
Enhancement of education and learning
Future devices (e.g. smart glasses and holographic displays)
Next-generation experiences in automotive
These points are examples. We are actively looking for new ideas and if your research project does not fall precisely in the above categories please still consider applying.
For example if you are doing a PhD in quantum computing algorithms with AI or a project that involves user interfaces with robots or Internet of Things applications come tell us about it because we are flexible!
What the Internship Is About
We will work with you and your PhD supervisor to define a project that relates to your PhD.
We highly encourage publication of the results of your project.
Work closely with Dolby research teams to better understand industry-based research.
Where appropriate hone your skills in AI / machine learning or the appropriate creative tools.
Skills and Specialty Areas
We are interested in PhD research candidates from Computer Science Electrical Engineering Science Music Technology Media Technology or Media Content Creation.
We are not prescriptive of skill sets but it is useful if the research intern has ability in using appropriate tools e.g. a project in machine learning may require programming in Python or MATLAB or a project in XR creation may use Max/MSP or Final Cut / Logic Pro.
Most importantly we are looking for the ability to creatively explore and design experiments to uncover new and interesting learnings in media.
