Research Scientist and Group Leader - Weed Management Systems
CSIRO's Health & Biosecurity Business (H&B) Unit addresses the complexity and interdependencies of human, animal and environmental health and biosecurity challenges across Australia and the world. H&B's portfolio of work drives impact through three key impact areas: Increasing Australia’s preparedness and responsiveness to health and biosecurity threats; Accelerating the technologically and digitally driven transformation of Australia’s healthcare and biosecurity systems; and Improving the health and wellbeing of all Australians.
The Biosecurity Program in CSIRO H&B works to mobilise science and technology to support preparedness and response to biosecurity risks to agriculture and the environment. The Weed Management Systems group within the Program conducts research that spans biology, ecology, genomics and management of weeds of agricultural and environmental significance.
The Principal Research Scientist (Plant Genomics) and Group Leader (Weed Management Systems) will work with teams in the group to creatively drive a new scientific research agenda, with a particular focus on delivering novel weed management solutions to support the impact areas of H&B. The focal area of interest/growth for the group into the future is the development of advanced genomics- and bioinformatics-enabled innovations in weed management to transform biosecurity systems.
Internally, the role will form part of the Biosecurity Research Program Leadership Team (Research Director + Group Leaders) and be accountable for the delivery of specific elements of the Program’s overall impact, science and financial objectives as well as the ongoing development of its strategy. Externally, the role will work closely with team leaders to (a) develop a vibrant portfolio of outcome-focussed multi-disciplinary research; (b) build new research partnerships that attract investment; and (c) collaboratively lead projects to deliver impact aligned with the science and strategy of the Weed Management Systems group.
