PhD Scholarship: Deconvolving Individual Bioaerosol Signatures Using AI-Driven Analysis of Complex Biological Datasets

PhD candidate sought to join Griffith University on an Office of National Intelligence-funded project to develop an AI-based framework for identifying individual bioaerosol signatures in shared indoor spaces. The role combines environmental aerosol sampling, high-resolution chemical analysis, and AI-driven signal deconvolution, with responsibilities spanning data-driven model development, integration of AI platforms (TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn), and Python-based analysis. The successful candidate will be based primarily on the Gold Coast (Southport) with required work at Brisbane South (Nathan) and may collaborate across Griffith sites. Expressions of interest are invited from domestic applicants, with eligibility including honours-equivalent bachelor degrees or Masters degrees. The scholarship offers an annual stipend of $35,656 (indexed) plus a fixed annual top-up of $5,000 for up to three years of full-time study. Griffith emphasizes diversity and inclusion, and provides pathways for HDR candidates to engage in advanced interdisciplinary research. Applicants should address suitability and provide transcripts, CV, two referees, and follow the Geo/Lab contact instructions. Closing date: 17 July 2026.
