The Opportunity
The Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC) is the largest collection of Australian insects and related invertebrates in the world, with over 12 million specimens. The collection is an important component of CSIRO’s National Research Collections Australia (NRCA), and critical to the future of insect biodiversity research in Australia. The collection has a staff of 30 including Research Scientists, Postdoctoral Fellows, PhD Students and technical officers who manage and improve the collection and conduct research in Australian insect taxonomy, systematics and related fields. Two Department of Agriculture and Water Resources staff are embedded in the collection and provide critical identifications and advice for biosecurity, in collaboration with ANIC research scientists.
The role of Research Projects staff in CSIRO is to collaborate in scientific activities with other research staff usually by assisting with detailed planning, undertaking or assisting with experimental and observational work, and in carrying out the more practical aspects of the work. This is one of several Technical Assistant positions in ANIC working under the guidance of ANIC Director and ANIC Collection Manager.
