The Position
CSIRO believes that Indigenous Australians have extraordinary contributions to make to Australia across cultural, economic and scientific domains. Furthermore, CSIRO recognises the social and economic disadvantage experienced by Indigenous Australians and is committed to overcoming the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. CSIRO initiated its Indigenous Engagement Strategy in July 2007. The Strategy aims to achieve greater Indigenous participation in CSIRO's research and development agenda and activities.
CSIRO established an Office of Indigenous Engagement (OIE) in 2008, charged with implementing a whole-of-organisation approach to CSIRO’s engagement with Indigenous Australia around the pillars of its Indigenous Engagement Strategy: scientific opportunities, employment, education outreach and cultural learning and development.
An exciting opportunity now exists within the OIE for a collaborative, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial leader to work with CSIRO to implement the next phase of our Indigenous Engagement strategy. This role is a critical leadership role in the organisation being the key contact point for Indigenous engagement across the enterprise. The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of the cultural, social, economic and political dynamics of Indigenous Australia as well as experience working in large, complex organisations. A background or interest in science would be highly advantageous but by no means necessary.
Your duties will include:
Location: Brisbane preferred, other locations considered
Salary: AU$134K to AU$148K plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: 3 year term
Job reference: 58313
