The Opportunity
The Aquatic Remote Sensing team in the Coasts program in CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere is seeking to appoint a highly motivated Research Scientist specializing in underwater bio-optics, Ocean Colour Radiometry (OCR) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for coastal and marine applications. The position requires a strong background in the development of remote sensing methods in optically complex waters across a range of applications (including oil spills, harmful algal blooms, water quality assessment) and their quasi-operational implementation for application in Australian and international coastal water domains.
The aims of the position are to contribute to research on the optical, radar and biogeochemical relationships in optically complex waters and develop new technologies and tools for satellite detection of marine pollution and water quality assessment in Australian and international coastal water domains. The successful candidate will contribute skills to help deliver reliable detection, monitoring and mapping tools for Australia’s aquatic ecosystems, ultimately leading to improved management of Australia’s aquatic resources focusing on the coastal waters.
