CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Biological Mathematics
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.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work on a project to predict the population dynamics of disease vectors at continental scales to quantify the risks of using gene-drives to control vector-borne pathogens, such as malaria in Africa or Ross River Fever in Australia, and thereby develop CSIRO’s expertise to solve the complex risk assessment challenges learnt from decades of engagement in genetic control.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work within a multidisciplinary team across several CSIRO business units. The Postdoctoral Fellow will work with statisticians and applied mathematicians in the CSIRO Data61 Ecological and Environmental Risk Assessment Team and may also collaborate with CSIRO’s Health and Biosecurity Risk Evaluation and Preparedness Team, through the on-going relationship between Paul de Barro and the team leader, Keith Hayes. The Postdoctoral Fellow will liaise with the whole-of-ecosystem modelling capability held by the Marine Socio-ecological Systems Team, in the CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Marine Systems Modelling and Informatics Group, and interface with the high-performance computing strategies developed by CSIRO Mineral Resources.
