The School of Science
The School of Science has a strong track record of excellence in teaching and research in our two disciplines: Computing and Security/Science and Mathematics. Within the Computing and Security discipline area, our activities orient around Computer Science, Cyber Security, Information Technology and Security Science. We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and have active research programs specifically oriented around Cyber Security and AI/Machine Learning. The discipline is based at the Joondalup campus of ECU with the new City Campus activating in 2026.
About the Opportunity
Edith Cowan University, in partnership with Apple, is building a dynamic, hands-on team for the newly launched Apple Foundation Program at ECU—the first of its kind in Western Australia. This team will combine expertise in design thinking, coding, app development, and Apple technologies to deliver innovative, industry-leading learning experiences.
You will work with the Apple Foundation Program Coordinator to facilitate and establish this new active learning experience for aspiring students within the Apple Foundation Program with a particular focus on the technical delivery. This immersive, hands-on, Challenge-Based Learning curriculum introduces participants to the creative and unique potential of Apple technologies, alongside design thinking, coding, prototyping and team-oriented teamwork. We are looking to recruit a technical mentor who will bring agility and dedication to the role.
This role will also engage with a major immersive data visualisation infrastructure project and activation. Working alongside existing research capabilities in AI; machine learning; cyber security; computer science; security science; and, colleagues in the science/mathematics discipline, this is an opportunity to be a part of the development of a new multi-disciplinary capability at ECU with multi-sectoral applications.
