About this position

Curtin University is recruiting a full-time Research Associate/Fellow for the High-Performance Intelligent Systems (HPIS) Research Group at the Bentley campus in Perth, Western Australia. The fixed-term role contributes to a Defence-funded research contract developing secure, scalable and resource-efficient software platforms.

The research focuses on Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), distributed systems, cloud and edge-cloud computing, software engineering, performance evaluation and cyber-secure deployment. Responsibilities include applied research, prototype and platform-component development, benchmarking, experimental design, system testing, performance analysis, technical reporting and scholarly outputs. The successful researcher will collaborate with software engineers, students, Defence stakeholders, industry partners and academic colleagues, while mentoring junior researchers.

Applicants need a PhD or near-completion PhD in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Distributed Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science or a related discipline. Strong programming and prototyping ability is expected, with experience in languages such as Python, Java, C/C++, Go or JavaScript/TypeScript. Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, serverless or cloud-native systems, DevOps, MLOps, CI/CD, benchmarking, simulation, performance profiling, secure software development or controlled environments is advantageous. Applicants must be Australian citizens and may need to obtain an Australian Government security clearance.

The appointment runs until 31 March 2028 and offers AUD 108,064–115,862 plus 17% superannuation, alongside university leave, salary packaging, flexible work and wellbeing benefits. Apply through SEEK with a resume, cover letter and selection-criteria response by 8pm AWST on 15 November 2026.
