Your new role

The position is based at Curtin University (Bentley campus), within the School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences (EECMS). The role is well suited to take advantage of the flexible working arrangements the University offers to enable staff to balance work with other commitments.

The successful candidate will undertake industry-motived applied research in the field of Electromagnetics and Electronics Engineering; and help to identify and foster the next generation of researchers by contributing to the teaching of relevant courses at the University.

In the role you will—individually and in collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team— undertake and report on applied research that addresses the needs of CIRA’s industry partners and clients. You will be expected to communicate and promote research outcomes via reports, academic articles, presentations, and demonstrations. You will also contribute the growth of CIRA’s research endeavour by developing novel prototypes and demonstrations that lay the foundations for compelling research proposals and pursuing funding opportunities to realise them.

A significant part of CIRA’s mission is to train and grow Australia’s STEM workforce. In this role, you will support this by teaching into relevant courses, supervising student and intern projects, and creating and supporting opportunities for direct student participation in CIRA’s research activities.

The position will involve collaboration with other personnel in CIRA including the Engineering Operations and Translation and Impact teams, and research students and interns, on a day-to-day basis. Yous will also have the opportunity to contribute your research expertise to multi-disciplinary projects with researchers from other areas of CIRA, EECMS, Curtin University and ICRAR.

If you have any queries in relation to the requirements of the role please contact Senior Lecturer, Dr Adrian Sutinjo at [email protected] .
