Job Description
Mobile programming is an important area of computing that connects software engineering principles with applications designed for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. At professorial level, expertise in this field can contribute to advanced learning, research development and the preparation of graduates for careers in a rapidly evolving digital environment.
The published vacancy information specifies a PhD in Science, Engineering, IT or a related field. It also identifies 10–15 years of university teaching and research experience, a strong publication record and previous academic leadership experience as key requirements. Candidates should therefore be prepared to demonstrate substantial academic achievement and a sustained contribution to higher education.
Relevant professional expertise may include mobile application development, software architecture, programming methodologies, application testing, mobile user experience and contemporary development environments. However, the university's detailed preferred technical specializations have not been established by the available announcement and should be checked against the original vacancy.
The position may interest established academics seeking to contribute their knowledge to university teaching, scholarly investigation and the development of computing education. Applicants should be able to document their academic credentials, research contributions, publications and leadership achievements where requested by the employer.
Application deadline: 31 December 2026.
