This position is an exciting opportunity for an early career, highly motivated research scientist with skills in spatial data analytics, ecology and pest management to join CSIRO’s Managing Invasive Species and Diseases program, as a member of the Adaptive Biosecurity Management team. As the Research Scientist in Quantitative Pest Management, you will undertake innovative research into the ecology and management of large feral vertebrates (pigs, buffalo and cattle) to enhance our capability to limit the economic, environmental and social impacts of these species. Your research will contribute to a large, multi-organization project that will develop enhanced outcomes for the efficient management of large feral vertebrates on Indigenous properties in remote Northern Australia.
Working with internal and external stakeholders, you will contribute to the development of the next generation of land management tools by integrating large scale animal tracking datasets, high resolution environmental mapping and anthropogenic accessibility data to optimize animal management activities through space and time. You will co-develop research products that support better informed feral animal management strategies. A willingness to work with a variety of stakeholders and end users with the goal to translate scientific outputs into useful land management tools, and to develop new R&D opportunities, will be a key element of this role.
