Lecturer – Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering Full-time

Lecturer in Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering

Join a collaborative community of robotics and mechatronics academics working across disciplinary boundaries to shape the next generation of engineers. As a Lecturer, you will deliver engaging teaching, coordinate courses and help design the new Robotics and Mechatronic Engineering plan, connecting contemporary practice in robotics, mechatronics, signal processing, control systems and engineering programming with an exceptional student experience. You will also contribute to purposeful research, student supervision, academic service and partnerships within and beyond UQ.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Teaching: Design, coordinate and deliver undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including lectures, tutorials, assessment and student supervision. Contribute to innovative curriculum and assessment design informed by contemporary educational practice, student feedback and industry needs.
• Research: Collaborate with colleagues and postgraduate students on interdisciplinary research projects, contribute to quality research outputs and apply responsible, contemporary research methodologies.
• Supervision and Researcher Development: Supervise Honours, bachelor's thesis and Higher Degree by Research students, supporting the development of their technical capabilities, professional confidence and responsible research practice.
• Citizenship and Service: Build productive partnerships with colleagues, industry, government, professional bodies and the wider community. Contribute to internal service roles, mentor others and consistently demonstrate UQ values.
