CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Earth System Science
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
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.
In this position you will join a vibrant team of international leaders in carbon cycle science and terrestrial biospheric modelling. The team will develop and use Australia’s state-of-the-art terrestrial biospheric model CABLE to assess the role of disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic, on Australia’s terrestrial carbon balance, both historically and into the future. They will assess the potential of, and resilience of, terrestrial nature-based solutions in meeting Australia’s climate commitments through a synthesis of existing data sources, and by designing, running and analysing new experiments with CABLE.
The role sits within the “Modelling the Earth System” group in CSIRO’s Climate Science Centre. The successful candidate will be someone who wants to work in a team, has keen interest in Earth system science and a strong drive to deliver science in support of Australia’s commitments to Net-Zero by 2050 and the Paris Climate Agreement.
