º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ research covers a range of disciplines across our five faculties and research centres and institutes, and we have a strong focus on multidisciplinary research to solve complex local and global problems.
We want to build the best environment for our people to excel in quality research and teaching. Our ambitious plan for research at the University has led to reimagining our researcher development (º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ ReD) programs to service various researcher career stages, and developing an impact framework to support researchers and teams to design, undertake, disseminate and integrate research that makes an impact within and beyond academia.
The University’s Performance Expectations for Academic Staff (PEAS) focus on supporting our academics to establish and progress their career, in addition to achieving traditional performance measures. º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ is committed to supporting our early career researchers with our º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ ReD IGNITE program, a small cohort experience focussing on personalised support and tailored training to complement in-faculty mentoring. Our centrally funded Outside Studies Program is an opportunity for academic staff to immerse themselves in another research environment at another institution or organisation for their professional growth and career development.
If a role suiting your skills and expertise is not currently advertised, consider submitting an expression of interest to one of our faculties on the .

I was always drawn to how we think, and what factors affect our thinking. When combined with my interest in technology, I found myself in human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and Artificial Intelligence.
