CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Autonomous Marine Systems
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 position will sit within the Engineering & Technology (E&T) program of CSIRO National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI), centred on the Autonomous Sensors Future Science Platform. Performing sustained marine observations presents a significant challenge due to the harsh and remote nature of the environment. E&T delivers bespoke systems and equipment to further science within the field and this role aims to strengthen the use of autonomous marine systems within the program. This will allow CSIRO to remain at the forefront of effective and efficient surveying, exploration, management and intervention of the marine environment, important for understanding and preventing threats posed to Australia’s ecology and biodiversity.
A candidate with high level of self-motivation is sought to work as part of a team of highly skilled multidisciplinary engineers and technicians to progress autonomous marine observations into the future. The successful applicant will play a leading role in developing novel methods in the command and control of autonomous platforms in the marine environment, as well as have the opportunity to observe and evaluate performance in the field.
