The Position
Australia’s future minerals, energy and water resources will come from greater depths in the onshore regions and from deep offshore plays. Our ability to find, define and exploit mineral resources is limited by a deep and complex regolith that covers about 80% of the Australian land mass. Undiscovered conventional oil and gas lies in deeper or more subtle traps, or else is sourced from unconventional sources onshore that require new geophysical methods to quantify. The science of Deep Earth Imaging will help us more precisely image and understand the significance of subsurface rock properties, which in turn will unlock the resource potential of this vast and relatively under-explored continent.
As a part of this effort, we seek an outstanding early career researcher with a background in Geostatistics with significant experience in stochastic simulation and visualisation as a new member of a growing, world-leading team of 25 researchers. The successful candidate will develop and apply methods to probabilistically assimilate data with different spatial support and resolution for mineral, hydrocarbon and groundwater exploration, as well as visualisation techniques that enhance user interaction with data and models.
Postdoctoral Fellowships at CSIRO provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctoral studies and who have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships will help launch their careers, provide experience that will enhance their career prospects, and facilitate the recruitment and development of potential leaders for CSIRO.
Postdoctoral Fellows are appointed for terms of up to three years and work closely with leading research scientists and engineers. They carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO with the possibility of novel and important scientific outcomes and present the findings in international publications and conferences.
