The Position:
The role of Research Scientist Staff in CSIRO is to conduct innovative research leading to scientific achievements that are aligned with CSIRO’s strategies. You may be engaged in scientific activity ranging from fundamental research to the investigation of specific industry or community problems. You will have the opportunity to build and maintain networks, play a lead role in securing project funds, provide scientific leadership and pursue new ideas and approaches that create new concepts.
In this role you will develop and apply genetic tools to understand genetic diversity, dispersal, gene flow and population structure of mouse populations (“landscape genomics”) to develop robust rodent management recommendations for the grains industry. This information will (1) lead to a better understanding of mouse movements (identify source and sink habitats to understand when and where to undertake management), (2) inform the design of mouse monitoring systems (spatial layout and timing of monitoring) and (3) improve our understanding of mouse ecology (where do mice live, how do they interact with crops, etc). This Research Scientist will connect these different components and generate an entirely new level of understanding of mouse populations and thereby contribute to improved management strategies.
Your duties will include:
Location: Black Mountain, Canberra, ACT
Salary: $98k to $106k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: 3 years
Reference: 60885
