CSIRO Health & Biosecurity business unit is currently seeking a skilled and experienced Research Scientist to join their Adaptive Biosecurity Management team!

In this hands-on role, you will bring your skills in data modelling and expertise in relevant research areas & fieldwork to conduct scientific research that integrates spatial data, field collected data and remote data-streams to enhance adaptive land management with a focus on invasive species and biosecurity risks. While your role will have a primary focus on delivering existing/ongoing projects and managing stakeholder relationships, you will also play a key role in facilitating the expansion and development of the digital transformation of CSIRO’s research capabilities.
This will be a great opportunity for an early-to-mid career research scientist, with well-developed skills in data modelling and an interest for digital tools, to become part of Australia’s national science agency!
