[Comp-neuro] 2 x Jobs: Computational Intelligence/Cognitive Engineering - Principle/Senior Principle Research Scientists, Tasmania, Australia

The CSIROIntelligent Sensing and Systems Laboratory (ISSL) is developing innovative systems to support decision making through its world-class

ICT researchcapability in environmental sensor networks, mobile sensor integration, computational intelligence and semantic and knowledge

engineering. Ourprojects have a strong focus on intelligent eScience systems in informatics fields such as environment and agriculture,

psychophysiologyand human factors and molecular sciences.

We are seeking two Principal Research Scientists / SeniorPrincipal Research Scientists to join our innovative team at our
CSIRO ICT Centre located in Tasmania. Note that a Principle Research Scientist (CSOF 7) is equivalent to a European or Australian

Associate Professor, while a Senior Principle Research Scientist (CSOF 8) is equivalent to a full professor.

Salary:      $123-$136K for CSOF7;  $147K-$158K for CSOF8 (plus up to 15.4% superannuation)
Tenure:      Indefinite (full-time on-going)

To be appointed at the higher level you will need to demonstrate extensive relevant scientific and/or industrial experience, together

with high level management and leadership capability and experience. 

TAS13/01375 - PRINCIPAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST / SENIOR PRINCIPAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST IN COMPUTATION INTELLIGENCE

Your role will beto lead a Computational Intelligence research team and lead/participate in research projects, and significantly

contribute toshaping and defining the research direction of the science area within the ICT Centre. The projects have a strong focus

on intelligenteScience systems in informatics fields such as environment and agriculture, psycho-physiology and human factors and

molecularsciences. Overall, you will have the responsibility to shape and drive the research agenda of the Intelligent Sensing and

SystemsLaboratory (ISSL) of the CSIRO ICT Centre in Tasmania in the field of computational intelligence, to develop and sustain the

internationalrecognition of CSIRO in this area .

TAS13/01376 - PRINCIPAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST / SENIOR PRINCIPAL RESEARCH SCIENTIST IN COGNITIVE ENGINEERING

Cognitive engineering includes the use of theories and methods from cognitive science to inform engineering practice, and the use

of engineering theories, methods and techniques to investigate, understand and augment human cognition. Cognitive engineering

includes user-centred design of human-machine interaction, the design of information technology based upon human cognitive capacities

and functionality, human factors, and knowledge elicitation, modelling and representation. Cognitive engineering within the ISSL includes

the use and development of empirical methods includingpsychophysiology and eye tracking.

 

The Principal Research Scientist/Senior Principal Research Scientist in cognitive engineering will provide research leadership for a research

team and lead/participate inresearch projects, significantly contribute to shaping and defining the research direction of the science area

within the ICT Centre.Funding for the projects is available and the projects are in their formative phases.

 

As Principal ResearchScientist/Senior Principal Research Scientist you are also expected to work with external customers
and partners, and to work with business development and research management colleagues and team members to establish collaborative

work and define new externally funded projects in the longer term.
