Senior Lecturer - Associate Professor Positions in Services Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, REF. 5795
The University of New South Wales (UNSW) recently awarded the School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) a Strategic Initiative Grant to recruit two academic staff with high-level expertise in services engineering.
The initiative will aim at capability enhancing and will build upon the strengths in areas of Web service engineering, business intelligence, and end-user-centric and real-time analytics. The areas of focus will be investigated in frontier eResearch application areas: e-science, finance, government, digital media, environment, and personal processes management - where expertise to empower a service-based and competitive economy is much needed. CSE has been an active member of the Smart Internet CRC (Cooperative Research Centre), which winds up operations this year, and is also one of six universities and many industrial partners in its successor, the Smart Services CRC, which is expected to be formally launched mid-2008.
The Strategic Initiative builds on UNSW's expertise in services engineering to maximise the opportunities arising from the new CRC and thereby strengthening its eResearch capability more generally. The initiative will not only build on UNSW strengths in services engineering, but also leverage this to build eResearch capability within UNSW.
The School is one of the largest computing schools in Australia. It offers undergraduate programs in Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Bioinformatics, as well as a number of combined degrees with other disciplines. It attracts excellent students who have an outstanding record in international competitions. At the postgraduate level there is a large PhD research program and coursework programs at the Masters, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate level.
The School is a founding partner and significant contributor to the following Centres: National ICT Australia (NICTA), ARC Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Systems (CAS), iCinema - Centre for Interactive Cinema.
The current salary range for Senior Lecturer is A$87,182 - A$100,022 and for Associate Professor is A$104,301 - A$114,569 per year depending on qualifications and experience plus up to 17% employer superannuation plus leave loading.
Applicants should systematically address the selection criteria in their application.
