NICTA (National ICT Australia) is Australia’s Information and

and the rest in Melbourne.

We seek outstanding researchers who have recently received their PhD

to be part of a large, world-class optimisation group. The researchers
will join significant projects in infrastructure resilience (including
disaster management and infrastructure security) and smart energy
systems (including smart electricity grids and smart buildings).

Candidates should have a PhD in computer science, operations research,

or related areas, a strong background in artificial intelligence,
constraint programming, or operations research, and good modelling and
programming skills.

It is expected that all researchers will continue to build upon their

international reputation by publishing papers and attending top

optimisation systems for infrastructure resilience and smart energy
management.
