We are seeking to appoint an outstanding academic with demonstrated expertise and a strong intellectual commitment to at least one of the following areas: electrical engineering and power systems or renewable energy; robotics and autonomous systems; artificial intelligence and machine learning; sensing, instrumentation, and measurement; or control systems and automation. The successful candidate will bring a track record of excellence in fundamental and/or applied research, evidenced by high-quality scholarly publications and success in securing competitive research funding commensurate with their career stage. The appointee will also contribute to teaching excellence and innovation, including curriculum development and the design of new courses, programs, and micro-credentials aligned with evolving industry and societal needs. The candidate may be required to undertake duties overseas (including in China and Asia) as part of QUT’s Transnational Education programs delivered in partnership with international institutions. Any required overseas work would generally be no longer than a 2-3 week period at any one.

About us

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.

The School of Electrical Engineering and Robotics plays a significant role in almost every aspect of a modern lifestyle, supplying the energy and intelligence for the technology that helps us to manage and understand the world around us. We work to ensure safe, affordable and environmentally responsible supply and consumption of electricity. We make sense of the world’s data streaming in from cameras, devices, and sensors.



Our expertise in Robotics, Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Wireless Communications, Signal Processing, Power Engineering and Renewable Energy Systems allows us to develop systems to automatically interpret the world, its people and their activities from diverse visual and audio sources. We create cutting edge robotic systems that interact with the real world, operating autonomously in our natural and built environments to benefit industries such as health, transport, manufacturing, mining and agriculture. We are committed to the education of Electrical Engineers both as undergraduates and postgraduates, and work with partner Schools to deliver leading edge Mechatronic, Software and Aerospace Engineering education..
