<p class="MsoNormal">There is a 3-year full-time research fellow position available at the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems was established in 2013 with the aim of developing a leading research capability in the areas of human factors, sociotechnical systems, and systems thinking. The Centre is led by Professor
Paul Salmon and currently comprises 10 academic and research support staff and 12 PhD students. The core philosophy underpinning the Centre’s research activities is the application of human factors and sociotechnical systems theory and methods to optimise
the behaviour of complex sociotechnical systems. A significant focus of the Centre’s activities is on translating research findings into practice – ensuring that our leading-edge research has impact and benefit in the real world. The Centre’s research activities
cross five core themes: Identity, Cyber & Resilience; Transport and Infrastructure; Sport and Outdoor Recreation; Organisational Safety; and Land Use Planning and Urban Design.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The University of the Sunshine Coast is located near Maroochydore, approximately one hour north of Brisbane. The region is renowned for its natural beauty, including beaches, mountains and national parks. The subtropical climate is conducive
to various outdoor activities including surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, cycling (road and mountain), triathlons, running, hiking, horse riding, golf, etc. The university campus is a wildlife reserve and is home to diverse flora and fauna, including
kangaroos and native birds.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">POSITION OVERVIEW<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The successful candidate will work across a range of projects within the Identity, Cyber & Resilience Theme at the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical Systems. The primary focus of the role will be on the recently funded Australian
Research Council Linkage Project, “Optimising illicit dark net marketplace interventions”. This project will involve extensive industry and government engagement in order to develop, implement, and test a process for law enforcement and national security partners
to optimise their intervention within dark net marketplaces and related anonymous online forums. In addition, the successful candidate will work on a range of projects that apply human factors methods to optimise prevention and response efficiency within a
cyber security context.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Duties can include:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Conduct of research either as a member of a team or independently, and the production of peer reviewed journal papers, conference papers and industry reports from that research.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Application of human factors methods (e.g., task analysis, cognitive work analysis) to identity and cyber security contexts.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Engage directly with government, industry and community sector stakeholders in identifying and understanding human factor problems within a cyber security context and co-designing optimal responses.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Participation and active assistance in the research team environment involving senior and junior researchers and doctoral candidates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Contribution to the preparation or, where appropriate, individual preparation of research proposal submissions to external funding bodies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Involvement in professional activities including, subject to availability of funds, attendance at conferences and seminars in the field of expertise.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Administrative functions primarily connected with the area of research.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Co-supervision or, where appropriate, supervision of honours or postgraduate research projects within the field of the staff member’s area of research.<o:p></o:p></p>
