Further Positions — at the ANU and Internationally

If you are a motivated and knowledgeable student, then of course I would love to supervise you! Sadly, there is always limited time (and funding), so I cannot accept everybody I'd like to. So, I list a few options how you could find other positions or supervisors.

The advice provided below could, partially, be specific to PhD positions, but also gives advice that can be used for finding post-doc positions.

International Opportunities

• Subscribe to the mailing lists planning-list~AT~googlegroups.com and icaps-conference~AT~googlegroups.com. Just search for them on google groups to subscribe. Every two(ish) weeks there's an announcement for PhD (and post-doc) positions.

• PhD announcements by colleagues:
  (Sorted alphabetically by supervisor name.)

  • Interested in the intersection of planning and ontologies? Check out the PhD and post-doc announcements by my colleague Prof. Dr. Birte Glimm from Ulm University, Germany, and/or drop her an email (birte dot glimm at uni-ulm.de) for questions or applications.
  • Want to be more involved in researching on how to apply fundamentals of AI-planning in real-world applications? Check out the PhD and post-doc announcements by my colleague Jun.-Prof. Dr. Jean Jane Kiam from the Bundeswehr University Munich, Germany, and/or drop her an email (jane dot kiam at unibw dot de) for questions or applications.
  • Associate Prof. Jendrik Seipp leads a research lab at Linköping University, Sweden, which offers planning-related PhD positions.
  • If you are interested in topics related to human-aware AI, human-robot interaction or explainable planning, feel free to reach out to Assistant Prof. Sarath Sreedharan from Colorado State University, US, via email (ssreedh3 at colostate dot edu).

• Research Projects by colleagues:

  • My colleague Dr. Rahul Shome is working on computational robotics and has ongoing student project openings in areas of planning and learning on real and simulated robots.

Supervisors at the ANU

• List of all available PhD supervisors. This convenient list lists all available supervisors, and it even highlights who has funding available! So, working through that list seems very worthwhile. However, keep in mind that webpages are usually always outdated...

• PhD and Post-doc Announcements of the ANU Planning Group by ANU's planning researchers. Note that not everybody seeking a PhD might have an announcement online. So you could consider to reach out pro-actively. Also

• PhD and post-doc announcements in my school. This lists several announcement pages (like the one already linked right above) per group in the school of computing.

• Lastly, below you find clusters and groups at the ANU that are (somehow) related to my own research. Working through the people listed there might hence also help you find somebody.

  • Planning group
  • Intelligent Systems cluster
  • Computing Foundations cluster
  • These were just the ones closest related to my own research. If there's nobody in there for you, you can expand your search by looking through this cluster and group search page.
