Are you skilled in ecological, agricultural or behavioural entomology? CSIRO Health & Biosecurity business unit currently has an exciting opportunity for a driven Biosecurity Entomologist to join our multi-disciplinary team.
As a Biosecurity Entomologist, you will be part of our ‘Biosecurity Program’ that works to mobilise science and technology to support preparedness and response to biosecurity risks to agriculture and the environment. You will also play a vital part in CSIRO’s newly formed ‘Trusted Agrifood Exports Mission’, which aims to integrate data solutions across Australia's agrifood value chain to grow our export premiums.
In this hands-on role, you will collaborate with a wide range of internal & external stakeholders, and apply your entomological & ecological skills to develop and test new approaches to both support market access and help keep Australia free of new biosecurity threats. You will be responsible for conducting laboratory and field studies on quarantine pests affecting horticultural industries to identify and manage trade risks.
If you’re an early-career scientist interested in finding innovative ways to manage biosecurity risks, this will be an excellent opportunity for you to be actively involved in a variety of high-impact research projects. CSIRO will offer you excellent career development and professional support, and we are strongly committed to diversity and supporting flexible working arrangements.
