CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantitative Coastal Marine Ecology
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 investigate the spatial scales of ecological facilitation among coastal habitats such as coral reefs, seagrass meadows, oyster reefs, mangroves, saltmarsh and/or kelp beds. Work will involve synthesis and modelling, which may consist of statistical, decision support, and/or process-based ecological or coastal oceanographic modelling, depending on the skills and interests of the fellow, as well as development of a web-based communication tool. The findings will be used to inform cost-effective decision-making strategies for coastal restoration. Opportunities for empirical field research in intertidal or subtidal ecosystems will be encouraged for suitably qualified applicants. The Postdoctoral Fellow will lead independent research in collaboration with the project team, and directly inform managers about key ecological processes in coastal ecosystems relevant to restoration by focusing on research that allows testing of novel questions using cutting-edge science.
