The Opportunity

• Produce quality research in the area of micro-sensing Technologies.
• Develop a technology roadmap related to micro-devices for Probing Biosystems. 
• Join CSIRO - Australia's premier science & technology research organisation!

CSIRO’s Data61 Business Unit is driving innovation in ASIC-design for applications in area such as implantable biosensor technology to improve health monitoring and surveillance. Our research group has active projects in the area of Cybernetics to enable miniaturised devices to operate in complex environments. As part of this research endeavour we have developed energy harvesters and micro-batteries to be further integrated with microcontrollers, communication gateways and transducers to perform reliable measurements in different environments, and deploy them in the field. We aim for our devices to be deployed as implantable devices. 

The successful candidate will work in an interdisciplinary team in designing new microscale devices under specific performance and constructive constraints. You will support those sensor deployments in the field and participate actively in the interpretation of experimental results with collaborators. As the Research Scientist, you will be publish in high-impact journals, assist our team in securing IP, and present results, when appropriate, in international conferences.  

The successful candidate will participate in a vibrant interdisciplinary research group and will be involved in projects addressing highly relevant research problems for Australia and beyond with impact to wide economy and society. The successful candidate will be working with the Cybernetics Research Group with in the Cyber-Physical Systems Research Program.

Location:       Hobart, Tasmania 
Tenure:          Indefinite
