We are seeking a Research Fellow in Water Sensing and Sampling Systems to join School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Academic Division.

This position will be provided a unique opportunity to lead several research projects in close cooperation with water utilities, water companies and collaborators at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) We are seeking a Research Fellow with a background and interest in water engineering, preferably with some experience in either (1) monitoring of water systems, (2) development and deployment of water sensors or sampling devices, and/or (3) processing, analysing or modelling of water-related datasets.

We're offering this role as a hybrid position as part of QUT's commitment to embracing the opportunities created by a more virtual and connected world.

**Real world impact**

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.

**About the area**

School of Civil and Environmental Engineering sits within the Faculty of Engineering, Academic Division.

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering brings together engineers who deliver teaching and research excellence in the sustainable design, planning, construction and operation of infrastructure and resource management to solve societal challenges and support more liveable communities.

We design and improve infrastructure to address real-world challenges such as overpopulation, natural disasters and climate change, and shape the world we live in by engineering liveable and sustainable environments with safe, efficient and reliable infrastructure.

Our teams are actively engaged in research and teaching in the areas of infrastructure, environmental engineering, and civil construction with key strengths including:

- urban water management
- climate change adaptation
- disaster management
- infrastructure resilience
- structural heath monitoring
- fire safety engineering
- transport systems
- resilient pavements

Our research is supported by deep industry connections that enable translation of our cutting-edge research into real-world outcomes. We have a highly capable higher degree research student body, with over 80 students engaged in MPhil and PhD programs.

The School's research is well aligned with the University's real-world positioning, through better partnerships across internal and external boundaries. Our researchers study the natural, built and virtual environments to find ways to make them more sustainable, secure and resilient. Our School also has ties with major QUT research centres, including the Centre for Data Science, Centre for Materials Science and Centre for Agriculture and Bioeconomy.

**What you need to succeed**

1. Completion of doctoral qualification in either (1) civil or environmental engineering, (2) electrical engineering, or (3) computer science, or a closely related discipline.

2. Record of outcomes such as publications, course work, professional experience, and/or awards consistent with the key areas of this position.

3. Demonstrated research expertise in one or more relevant research areas such as water monitoring (sensing or real time control), water sampling, or water systems modelling.

4. Excellent communication and leadership skills to support and supervise graduate students.
