Five (5) positions in Brisbane, Australia
**Cognitive and Organisational Systems Engineering (COSE) project**
**National ICT Australia - Queensland Research Laboratory**
2 x Senior Researchers, 1 x Researcher/Postdoctoral Fellow, 2 x Senior Research Engineers
National ICT Australia (NICTA) is Australia's national ICT Research Centre of Excellence. NICTA brings together world-class researchers and professional staff to build a culture of entrepreneurship and achievement in use-inspired research. This will build Australia's ICT capacity into the future.
We are seeking researchers and research engineers for a new initiative in human-system integration at NICTA's Queensland Research Laboratory (QRL). QRL is located on the main St Lucia campus of The University of Queensland.
Summary details below. Find position descriptions and apply online at http://nicta.com.au/director/careers.cfm
1. Senior Researcher -- Prospective evaluation of healthcare ICT
================================================================
We are seeking a Senior Researcher with a strong background in the area of Cognitive Systems Engineering, Human-System Integration, or behaviourally-based Health Informatics, to take a leading role in the planning and execution of NICTA's Prospective ICT Evaluation (PICTE) project.
The goal of the PICTE project is to develop robust methods for evaluating human-system integration that can be used early in the development of new healthcare systems. Methods developed will also reveal areas of potential ICT innovation, leading to business opportunities. Our initial focus is e-Health, but the theories, techniques and tools developed will extend to other domains.
Key Requirements:
* PhD degree in Cognitive Systems Engineering, Systems Engineering, Health Informatics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or cognate fields.
* Proven skills at developing models of human work on the basis of data in multiple media.
2. Senior Research Engineer -- Prospective evaluation of healthcare ICT
=======================================================================
We are seeking a highly experienced Senior Research Engineer with excellent software engineering skills to lead conceptualisation, strategic planning and development of research software and technological demonstrators to support NICTA's Prospective ICT Evaluation (PICTE) project.
The goal of the PICTE project is to develop robust methods for evaluating human-system integration that can be used early in the development of new healthcare systems. Methods developed will also reveal areas of potential ICT innovation, leading to business opportunities. Our initial focus is e-Health, but the theories, techniques and tools developed will extend to other domains.
Key Requirements:
* Degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or cognate fields, with an emphasis on Software Engineering.
* Solid experience with large-scale software engineering in university, industry, government, or military context.
3. Senior Research Engineer -- Ecological human operator modeling
=================================================================
We are seeking a highly experienced research engineer with excellent software engineering skills to lead the conceptualisation, planning and development of research software and technological demonstrators to support NICTA's Ecological Human Operator Modelling (ECHOMOD) project.
The aim of ECHOMOD is to develop methods for predicting the mental workload that a human operator will experience when interacting with advanced control systems, and to develop decision support tools that will maintain human workload within safe limits. We are initially applying the technology to the design of future air traffic management systems.
Key Requirements:
* Degree in Computer Science or equivalent and extensive industry software engineering and IT experience.
* Project planning, documentation and CVS experience.
* Knowledge of software engineering, design and project management methodologies, including agile programming.
4. Researcher -- Ecological human operator modeling
====================================================
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to develop methods for modelling human performance on complex control tasks in future air traffic management.
The aim of ECHOMOD is to develop methods for predicting the mental workload that a human operator will experience when interacting with advanced control systems, and to develop decision support tools that will maintain human workload within safe limits. We are initially applying the technology to the design of future air traffic management systems.
Key Requirements:
* PhD in Cognitive Science, Psychology, Computer Science, Cognitive Systems Engineering, Human Factors, or equivalent.
* Knowledge of (or ability to quickly acquire knowledge of) decision making, reasoning, memory, learning, motivation and self-regulation.
* Modelling skills and data analysis skills
5. Senior Research Engineer -- Communications with lexical analysis and visualisation
=====================================================================================
We are seeking a highly experienced Research Engineer with excellent software engineering skills to lead the conceptualisation, planning and development of research software and technological demonstrators to support NICTA's Communication Lexi-vision (COMLEX) project on healthcare communication.
The aim of COMLEX is to develop methods for visualising and analysing human communication using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). We are applying the technologies in healthcare to support communications training, visualization of patient and departmental information, and forensic analysis.
Key Requirements:
* Degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
* Software engineering experience in an energetic programming environment.
* Knowledge of video editing software and standards.
* Knowledge of a testing framework such as JUnit.
