Postdoctoral Researcher – UTS Data Science Institute
Closes 27 May.
The UTS Behavioral Data Science lab with the UTS Data Science Institute has an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the team to contribute to research and development on autonomous AI agents for counter-offensive information operations. The position may be filled at Level A (Postdoctoral Research Associate), Level B (Postdoctoral Research Fellow), or Level C (Senior Research Fellow) depending on the candidate’s qualifications, experience, and demonstrated capabilities.
In today’s contested information environment, autonomous AI agents represent a powerful tool for both detecting and responding to information operations (IO). With social media as their primary vector, foreign influence operations and disinformation campaigns can shape public discourse, destabilise regions of strategic importance, and undermine trust in democratic institutions. This research examines how autonomous AI agents can be used to counter these information operations, particularly in Australia’s near abroad.
This position is supervised by A/Prof Marian-Andrei Rizoiu.
