- Conduct high-quality research, scholarship and creative activities generating high impact outputs, with mentorship
- Engage collaboratively to participate in novel and high-quality research or creative activities
- Co-supervise Honours students to timely and high-quality outcomes
- Contribute to applications for funding for research and innovation
- Take an active role in engagement with industry
To be successful, you’ll have:
- A PhD in a relevant discipline and/or other relevant qualifications and experience
- Knowledge of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, strong programming skills.
- Preferably knowledge in one or more of ontology, structure grammar, and mathematical programming (e.g., Linear Programming), combinatorial optimization and its application.
- Emerging research and scholarship through publications, and/or exhibitions as appropriate to the discipline
- Capacity to contribute to research and be able to communicate with the research community and the general public.
