About the Scholarship

Swinburne is one of the nodes of Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing, led by University of New South Wales.

To meet critical sustainability goals, the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector needs to accelerate digital transformation processes.
We are looking for qualified applicants to join our diverse cohort of PhD researchers leading the change.

At Arch_Manu, we are embarking on an ambitious program of industry-embedded research and training activities guided by our 6 objectives: to reduce the (1) carbon emissions, (2) resource consumption, and (3) waste production of the AEC sector, while delivering projects (4) on time, (5) on budget, and (6) for the benefit of the community.


The PhD content sits within Analytics PhD Topic 5, supervised by Prof Marcus White and

Prof Blair Kuys:
How might architects employ new technology (Internet of Things, virtual reality, augmented reality, multiple realities, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning) to articulate their value proposition and contribution in a context of increased specialisation?

This topic may include consideration of opportunities for leveraging AR/VR/IoT/MR/ML for performance analysis in Design for Fabrication.


Further, you will have the unique opportunity to work closely with our industry partners in an embedded mode, based within their offices and collaborating with their project teams on various interdisciplinary research projects.

Our industry partners (including renowned firms such as Architectus, Bollinger + Grohmann, Cox, Grimshaw, and Tzannes) will provide you with practical industry experience, exposure to world class projects, and opportunities for exciting employment prospects at PhD completion.


You will also have access to domain experts in partnering international institutions (University College London, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia Barcelona, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Copenhagen), and peak body organisations (Australian Institute of Architects, Architects Accreditation Council of Australia, Australian Consulting Architects, NSW Architects Registration Board) further enhancing your research and networking opportunities.


The timeline for commencing your PhD varies, with multiple start dates available in 2024, allowing you to choose a timeline that fits your needs and availability.


Join us at the forefront of the digital transformation in the AEC sector, where you will have the opportunity to make a real impact, work with industry leaders, collaborate with fellow researchers, and contribute to cutting-edge research projects.

Don't miss this exciting opportunity to be part of the next generation of leaders in shaping the future of architectural design and engineering through digitisation.


About you
To be successful in the role, you will have:

  • Completed first-class honours undergraduate degree or Master's degree with a thesis component and 80% or higher overall mark in design studio.
  • Expertise in a relevant discipline
  • Expertise in using advanced technology (may include Internet of Things, virtual reality, augmented reality, multiple realities, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning)
  • Proficient interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to work within a diverse team.
  • A year or more AEC industry or research experience
A full list of selection criteria is available within the position description.
