Job Description
As a senior lecturer in critical RF and antenna engineering, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the academic landscape of our institution. This is an exciting opportunity to build on your established achievements in teaching, research, and service, while driving innovation and impact in a rapidly evolving field.
Modern systems and platforms in the space and defence sectors are critically dependent on advanced wireless technologies for communications and remote sensing in a contested environment. The school of electrical engineering and computer science has solidified its status as a global leader in related microwave/millimetre-wave engineering. To maintain our global leadership and ensure continuity in this rapidly advancing field, we are seeking a senior lecturer to strengthen research and teaching within our school.
Within our school, you will find thriving teams driving innovation in biomedical imaging technologies and engineering; optics and photonics; electromagnetics; signals processing, artificial intelligence, cyber security, human-centred computing, power and control engineering, and data science. The school fosters a dynamic and inspiring environment for academics, leading advancements at the cutting edge of technology.
Key Responsibilities:
* Teaching: Develop and deliver courses, engage in curriculum design, coordinate courses, assess students, provide academic counselling, and adhere to university teaching rules.
* Research: Lead independent or collaborative research to achieve national recognition and impact in RF and antenna engineering. Collaborate with colleagues, students, and industry on joint research and funding applications. Act as chief investigator in securing and managing external research funding. Maintain a strong publication record in high-quality international journals and conferences. Prepare progress reports and participate in regular project meetings. Initiate and coordinate strategic, externally funded collaborations across the university, nationally, and internationally. Support knowledge transfer and commercialisation of our intellectual property. Conduct impactful research that influences policy, practice, or commercialisation, gaining national and international recognition in RF and antenna engineering.
* Supervision and Researcher Development: Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, provide performance feedback and training, resolve conflicts, and ensure correct remuneration and benefits.
* Citizenship and Service: Develop partnerships, demonstrate leadership through mentoring, engage in internal service roles and committees, perform administrative functions, provide support to colleagues, and uphold our university values.
