**The Role**
Information Sciences Division is seeking a deep thinker to advance the state of the art with respect to intelligent agents and autonomous software systems for information warfare. The research specialist will be generating concepts and insights to inform Project SynIAPs, which seeks to demonstrate Synthetic Intelligent Agent Platforms (SynIAPs) for decision superiority in contested information environments.

In this role you will:

**About our Team**
Information Warfare Command and Control (IWC2) STC conducts research and development of command and control (C2) technologies for fighting in and through the contested information environment.

Information warfare (IW) occurs within the machine, and necessitates an approach that relies heavily on autonomous operation of cyber, EW and influence operations capabilities, under the oversight of a human command element.

IWC2 research themes include:

- Information warfare C2 paradigms
- Antifragile multi-agent architectures
- Autonomous control methodologies
- Machine-human integration
- Causal modelling
- Scalable and elastic coordination technologies

We seek to collaborate with others working in similar areas so as to increase critical mass and achieve maximal impact for Defence.

You should demonstrate a high level of initiative, scientific integrity and engineering pragmatism.

Desirable skills and experience include the ability to:

- Recognise, frame and pursue significant research challenges;
- Establish and maintain collaborative relationships with external partners;
- Shape the Australian innovation landscape;
- Communicate effectively with stakeholders, team members and collaborators;
- Deliver practical outcomes for Defence clients in a timely manner;
- Work with a small team of researchers; and
- Work autonomously with strategic guidance.

A background in at least two or more of the following areas will be valued:

- Multi-agent systems
- Machine intelligence algorithms
- Cyber warfare
- Electronic warfare
- Command and control principles
- Software engineering
