Unique opportunity to establish yourself as a leader in space radiation electronics and technologies
About the Job
We have a fantastic opportunity to join Swinburne as a Senior Research Fellow where you will contribute significantly to research and innovation in relation to the space sector, supporting both the design as well as fabrication of advanced electronics for space. You will work with Prof. Alan Duffy and undertake research into technologies that relate to the use of electronics in high radiation areas, as well as the potential for bespoke electronics to support edge-computing in space and low-power consumption for satellite systems. As part of the role, you will also be involved in supporting and furthering partnerships with industry for mutual benefit and potential commercialization, as well as creating a national framework that supports the testing and adoption of such radiation-hardened electronics. You will also contribute to the operation and management of the university’s Space Technology and Industry Institute.
The Australian space sector is rapidly advancing with leapfrog technologies permitting the rise of numerous, smaller satellites to achieve or even surpass the capabilities of the larger satellites of the last generation. Space is one of the key focus areas of Swinburne as it seeks to support this growing eco-system both nationally as well as internationally, with partnerships in Silicon Valley, Tel Aviv, Hong Kong and Stuttgart.
Ideally, as an outcome of the role, you will establish yourself as a leader in space radiation electronics and technologies research pursuing funding opportunities such as grant-funded Fellowships and contract research to establish yourself as independent researcher.
