Contemporary intelligent robotics is advancing rapidly, driven by breakthroughs in machine learning, embodied AI, sensor fusion, and collaborative automation. Modern robotic systems increasingly integrate real time perception, adaptive control, and semantic understanding, enabling robots to operate safely and autonomously in dynamic, unstructured environments. As robotics converges with cloud computing, largescale simulation, and foundation models for action and perception, new opportunities are emerging for teaching and research leadership in areas such as autonomous systems, advanced sensing and perception, cognitive robotics, and next generation intelligent machines. This creates an exciting landscape for an academic who is eager to help shape the future of intelligent robotics and its transformative societal impact. 

The appointee will be expected to contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, programme development, student project supervision, and administration activities for the Masters programmes in Intelligent Robotics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Electronic and Computer Engineering, and Medical Electronics.  Primary teaching responsibilities will be in the areas of Robotics, Automation, Sensors and Artificial Intelligence, though may be in other areas depending on the needs of the school. Of particular importance will be the ongoing development, marketing, management (including Programme Directorship) and delivery of postgraduate taught programmes, including new programmes and modules in Intelligent Robotics, and other programmes managed by Electrical and Electronic Engineering, as appropriate. The successful candidate will develop new teaching, drawing on their up-to-date knowledge of the state of the art in intelligent robotics, to prepare students for careers in the rapidly growing industry, in Ireland and globally.  

The appointee will be expected to develop a world-class funded research programme and expand research in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, which has active clusters in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles, Computational Imaging, Embedded Systems, Power Electronics, Medical Electronics, Visual Media Enhancement and Communications (EEE Research). The appointee will collaborate 

with colleagues across the School of Engineering, the College of Science and Engineering and research institutes of the University. Successful candidates will be expected to apply for major funding awards, for example from Research Ireland, the European Research Council and Horizon Europe, and will develop national and international collaborations with academia and industry. The new appointee will be expected to disseminate their work through high quality peer-reviewed journals, high-impact conferences, and workshops. 

The successful candidates shall possess: 

• A primary degree and PhD in Electrical/Electronic/Computer/Robotics Engineering, or a closely related discipline;
