About the opportunity

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow (Level A or Level B) to contribute to a research project focused on the development of advanced microwave technologies for microelectronics and radio frequency system-in-package. Working closely with the Chief Investigator, industry partners and research collaborators, you will contribute to the design, development and integration of next-generation microwave and radio frequency systems. This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of semiconductor packaging, heterogeneous integration and high-frequency imaging technologies, while contributing to impactful research outcomes and industry engagement.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

- design and develop advanced semiconductor packaging and heterogeneous integration solutions for microwave, millimetre-wave and terahertz applications
- undertake electromagnetic modelling, circuit simulation and optimisation using industry-standard software tools
- develop, integrate and experimentally validate high-frequency RF, millimetre-wave and terahertz hardware systems and imaging platforms
- conduct laboratory testing, characterisation and performance evaluation of electronic, RF and semiconductor packaging technologies




- work collaboratively with academic and industry partners to deliver project milestones and research outcomes
- contribute to student supervision, research publications, technical reports, presentations and other scholarly outputs

About you

The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity.

As such, we are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow who has:

- a PhD in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Microelectronics, RF Engineering or a closely related discipline
- demonstrated experience in advanced semiconductor packaging, heterogeneous integration and high-frequency RF, millimetre-wave or terahertz technologies
- expertise in electromagnetic modelling and simulation using tools such as Keysight ADS, CST Studio Suite and/or Ansys HFSS
- experience designing, integrating and validating RF hardware, semiconductor devices, antennas or related electronic systems
- strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively
- a demonstrated ability to contribute to high-quality research outputs and engage effectively with research and industry stakeholders

To be considered for appointment at Level B,



you will also demonstrate:

- extensive experience in advanced semiconductor packaging technologies, including bare-die integration, antenna-in-package (AiP), system-in-package (SiP) or related approaches
- experience developing and integrating millimetre-wave and/or terahertz hardware systems and imaging technologies
- advanced capability in high-frequency electromagnetic design, modelling and system-level integration
- experience leading complex hardware development, experimental validation and technical problem-solving activities
- a strong publication record and demonstrated contribution to successful cooperative research projects
- experience supervising or mentoring research students and contributing to project leadership activities
