You are currently pursuing a PhD at an Australian university, reside in Australia, and have an anticipated graduation date after September ****.
Who We Are
Dolby's 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.
What's Involved
We will work with you and your PhD supervisor to define a project that relates to your PhD, such that successful completion is not delayed by the internship
You will then spend four months with Dolby Australia researchers investigating a cutting-edge topic
We highly encourage publication of the results of your project in an appropriate conference or journal
You will have the prospect to work with a diverse global network of Dolby researchers, scientists and creators, and gain a solid understanding of industry-based research
This is a paid internship based in our Sydney office, running from May to September ****.
Relocation support is available for those based outside of Sydney.
Technical Background
AI / Machine learning systems, preferably with application to audio, video, text, and multimedia
Human-computer interfaces and AI applications
Trustworthy and explainable AI




Generative AI for media creation
Spatial computing for 6DoF multimedia
Multimodal and immersive audio and video creation
Example Project Areas
Live events or sports
Data provenance, attribution, and authenticity
Controllable generation of audio, video, textual, or multimedia content
Future devices (e.g., smart glasses and holographic displays)
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!
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.
