CSIRO Industry PhD scholarship - Corporates Compromised Engage! AI-augmented multiplayer cybersecurity simulation for digital leadership development

The CSIRO Industry PhD Program (iPhD) is a four-year research training program, focusing on applied research that benefits industry by solving real-world challenges. It aims to produce the next generation of innovation leaders with the skills to work at the interface of research and industry in Australia. This specific project develops an AI-enabled multiplayer simulation to address gaps in cybersecurity and AI governance education for organisations. The expected outcome is a digital platform with AI-driven facilitation, sentiment monitoring, and decision-making analytics. This solution may support commercial adoption and strengthen national capability in cybersecurity training and responsible AI. The Program includes admission to a university PhD program, supervision by the participating university, CSIRO, and an industry partner, a structured professional development and training program to develop applied research skills, and an industry engagement component with the industry partner for two days each week.
