Senior Lecturer In Critical RF And Antenna Engineering

Senior Lecturer

This is an exciting opportunity for a Senior Lecturer to build on their 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 (EECS) at the University of Queensland (UQ) has solidified its status as a global leader in related Microwave/Millimetre-Wave Engineering.

To maintain UQ's global leadership and ensure continuity in this rapidly advancing field, we are seeking a Senior Lecturer (Level C) to play a central role in Critical RF and Antenna Engineering Technologies and strengthen research and teaching within EECS.

Within EECS, you'll 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 will include:

• 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 UQ, nationally, and internationally.
• Support knowledge transfer and commercialisation of UQ 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 university values.
