CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Behavioural Science
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
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.
In this position you will use statistical modelling techniques to conduct research on the identification of certain profiles or segments of people based on behaviours and other characteristics (psychological and personal). You will identify behavioural and psychological patterns linked to ‘protective’ behaviours (such as recycling, weight loss, healthy food consumption, exercising, medication adherence). Research has indicated that health protective behaviours tend to cluster - that is, that people who follow healthier diets also have higher exercise levels, improved mask-wearing during pandemics, and lower rates of smoking.
This research aims to develop ‘success profiles’ that could lead to longer term outcomes, such as, identification of characteristics that could be target of interventions that are more likely to result in successful outcomes; and development of true personalisation methods based on sophisticated profiles.
