RMIT University, School of Media & Communications (Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology (rmit.edu.au), in Melbourne, Australia is seeking an exceptional PhD
candidate to research Extreme Performance.
The School of Media & Communications hopes to attract a candidate who values an
interdisciplinary design studio and extreme performance environment. You will
be highly motivated, willing to learn a variety of skills and use your own
initiative, extremely creative as well as technical, and also have highly
developed analytical and communicative skills. Prior research experience
(publications, prototypes, films, exhibitions etc.) is desirable and technical
abilities in hardware prototyping, motion capture, biometrics, communications
and film media (VMX) programming skills.
We are interested in an expression of interest in the following PhD topic:
Extreme Performance (PhD by Research 2015-17): Research and design of software
to support the prototype development of wearable performance media hardware and
remote communications systems for human performance in extreme environments:
spanning activities in deep sea, alpine mountaineering and in microgravity
environments. Demonstrated interest and experience with human exploration,
performing arts technologies, interactive technology, and hardware prototyping
and building communications platforms is desirable. A passion for sea, summit
or space fieldwork will also be highly regarded. The desired candidate will
demonstrate that they thrive in a convergent research culture where arts,
science and technology are interrelated, and mutually informing modes of
exploration, knowledge and discovery. Dr. Sarah Jane Pell
(www.sarahjanepell.com) will mentor the candidate in all areas of the project,
including research methods, publications and dissemination of
results including interactive exhibitions.
The RMIT University School of Media and Communications (SMC) incorporates the
fields of art, communication, design, education, humanities, property and
social sciences. SMC encourages collaborations across disciplinary boundaries,
and promotes opportunities for exchange, guidance and mentoring with high
caliber researchers. This project strategically and creatively contributes to
the activities, values and pedagogical impact of RMIT’s goals for ‘Transforming
