Research Plus Postdoctoral Fellowship in Soil Proximal Sensing for Natural Capital
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.
CERC Postdoctoral Fellows are appointed for three years or part time equivalent and will work closely with leading Research Scientists or Engineers in their respective fields.
This Postdoctoral fellowship will develop novel soil proximal sensing tools to inform natural capital accounting frameworks. The fellow will be a broad systems thinker and have a strong interest in using spatial approaches to solve challenges in measuring and valuing Australia’s soil resources. Digital mapping tools will be used to model relationships between soil condition, function, and agricultural productivity. Joining the Soil & Landscapes Group Canberra, the fellow will have access to field deployable proximal tools (e.g. vis-NIR, pXRF), high-performance computing, and a tailored career development program. Collaborating across a multi-disciplinary research team, including experts in natural capital accounting and life cycle assessment, and engaging with the agricultural sector, the fellows research will drive a step-change in the way soil information is used to inform the sustainable management of Australia’s soil resources.
