The successful applicant will play a role in the development of a strong program of research within a multi-disciplinary group to support the sustainable use of Australia's marine resources.
You will help execute a research portfolio in the area of risk assessment and ecosystem modelling, working with a group conducting research into ecosystem-based management of the coastal and offshore waters of Australia in relation to activities such as fishing, energy, mining, tourism, environmental conservation, and rural and urban development.
