The Opportunity
As a Science Leader with CSIRO Agriculture and Food, you will have the potential to deliver transformative impact to agriculture at a national or global scale. You will develop data methods and build highly integrated data-driven research platforms that explore aspects of biology important to agriculture. It is expected that these data-intensive research platforms will transgress different biological, geographical or temporal scales, individuals or populations, spanning fields, landscapes or continents, through different seasons or years. Leveraging pan-CSIRO platform efforts to grow early to mid-career opportunities in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), you will be in a position to make strong intellectual contributions to the strategic directions and industry impacts of this area of science.
In this Priority Area you will develop cutting edge approaches for streamlining, automating and qualifying data integration from multiple sources including phenomics, climate and genomics, across multiple production systems (crops, livestock and aquaculture). You will advance and deploy emerging methods in information and digital science. The area of science captured by this priority area is rapidly emerging globally in response to the opportunities presented by AI/ML. These areas utilise rich data streams but require them to be well integrated into the analytical domain, in this case bioprediction.
You will play a lead role in linking world-leading domain science in Agriculture & Food with the latest AI and ML approaches in other areas of CSIRO such as Data61. Research led by the science leader will be essential to ensure that technical advances at AI/ML frontiers are targeted and made available to relevant applications and science challenges to maximise the potential for impact. Contributing intellectual leadership that appreciates the power of bringing domain science together with data analytics, you will work across industries or sectors, such as the crop sciences, livestock, and aquaculture. In the longer term, impacts from the Science Leader’s program of work will include a revolutionary shift in how agricultural data is collected and used by researchers and industry, together with contributions to global food security and the optimisation of resource use efficiency in agricultural production systems.
The program is directed towards mid-career researchers who have ~10 to 15 years of post PhD experience, and:
