Research Scientist in Magnetotellurics
Australia's future mineral, energy and water resources will come from greater depths, and our ability to exploit these resources is limited by deep and complex regolith systems. Magnetotellurics (MT), audio-magnetotellurics (AMT), and controlled-source audio-magnetotellurics (CSAMT) are geophysical techniques well-known to be important for exploration that can lead to the discovery of new mineral deposits and increase our understanding of the genesis and formation of mineral systems.
As a Research Scientist in Magnetotellurics (MT), you will develop methods to quantify uncertainty in MT data. You will assess interpretation biases due to simplifying assumptions in forward and inverse modelling and support the ongoing development of MT as an exploration technique. Facilitating the development of advanced interpretation techniques, you will help companies achieve more efficient and higher-accuracy drilling campaigns through deep cover.
You are an outstanding early career research scientist with a background in MT data processing, inversion, and interpretation. Contributing your significant knowledge in uncertainty quantification and probability theory, you will help drive the development of MT as an exploration technique.
In this role you will:
