Marine Resources and Industry (MRI) is seeking to employ a Principal Research Scientist with extensive international fisheries and conservation management experience, including representational roles at international fisheries management organisations.
The successful candidate will work within the International Fisheries portfolio, drawing on expertise from within MRI, to develop and expand CSIRO’s research on the monitoring, management and provision of scientific advice on commercial pelagic fisheries and threatened, endangered, and protected (TEP) species.
You will have an initial focus on science to inform management and conservation of highly migratory tunas and sharks. As part of a highly innovative research team, you will have strong collaboration skills and an excellent publication record, in a relevant field, demonstrating the development and application of novel approaches to address critical research, management and policy challenges in marine resource management.
The position also requires strong quantitative skills (in statistics, population dynamics or related areas), high level research leadership experience, and a demonstrated ability to engage with government and non-government organisations to provide rigorous scientific advice for policy development and management.
