Faculty has a vibrant research culture with strong emphasis on basic 
research, and on applied research in collaboration with industry 
partners. The e-Markets Research Group 
(http://research.it.uts.edu.au/emarkets) has funding from two ARC 
Discovery Grants, and a Linkage Grant with the international

multidisciplinary research in applied artificial intelligence 
particularly: multiagent systems, e-negotiation, data mining, network 
mining and network analysis, understanding of complexity issues, and 
interaction with the researchers in the fields. Applicants should have a 
good academic record with a demonstrable capacity for research and 
should be willing to work to deadlines in a dynamic team.
