CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Spatial-temporal Soil Carbon Modelling
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
To unlock the potential benefits from soil carbon projects, we need to simultaneously reduce the cost and increase the quality of data necessary to adapt the existing and approved methodological framework for carbon accounting to one that can utilise remotely sensed data streams. Achieving this will not only provide low-cost abatement to mitigate climate change while emissions in other sectors are reduced but also provides an opportunity to use carbon market financing to improve Australia's soil assets. The CERC postdoctoral fellow will lead the development of 'Next-generation national dynamic space-time empirical soil carbon model'. The outcome of this research will improve soil carbon stock accounting at the national level to enhance Australia's national carbon accounting system. This will create the basis for improved uptake of carbon farming under the Emissions Reduction Fund or other market mechanisms.
