The Opportunity

Due to excellent success in the latest ARC DECRA round, the Faculty of IT wishes to appoint three x 3 year fixed-term Level B Teaching & Research academics into its Software Systems and Cybersecurity and Data Science & AI Departments.

The Department of Data Science & AI is seeking a Teaching & Research academic working in Large Language Models and Agentic AI. We are looking for candidates whose research focus is on the development of intelligent agent frameworks incorporating planning, memory, tool use, safety and evaluation methodologies, and neuro-symbolic integration, likely with a focus on NLP.

The Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity is seeking to appoint two Teaching & Research academics. One will be an expert in Internet of Things (IoT) and Edge Computing. The successful candidate will focus on: design and deployment of scalable IoT architectures, environmental and urban sensing systems, data fusion, large-scale real-time data-driven environments, and low-power sensor networks in resource-constrained settings. Application domains will be across smart cities, intelligent transportation systems, sustainable infrastructure, and digital healthcare.

A second position will be in Software Engineering to further strengthen the Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity's technical expertise. The successful candidate will advance research at the intersection of software engineering (SE) and programming languages (PL), with potential secondary expertise in one or more of IoT, smart environments, or cybersecurity. Emphasis on AI-powered tools for SE/PL, including program analysis, automated repair, and software testing is sought. Appointees will bring strong technical capability to collaborate with related groups in cybersecurity, data engineering, and data science & AI.
