CSIRO Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship in Economist and Foresight Modelling
The Opportunity
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.
CERC Postdoctoral Fellows are appointed for three years or part time equivalent.
We are thrilled to be able to deliver on the commitment we made in our strategy to invest in frontier science with the new CSIRO Agriculture & Food Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme. The word Winanga-y (pronounced win-na-gnay) is a cultural asset gifted by the Gomeroi Nation in Myall Vale to CSIRO's Agriculture and Food Business Unit to name the new Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme. Winanga-y means to understand, know, remember, and think.
The fellow will join a multi-disciplinary team applying foresight modelling tools to explore agri-food system transition pathways and inform and shape policy. This group works across business units and has strong connections to Australian and International policy-making bodies. The fellow would contribute to ongoing foresight modelling efforts, by building and extending analytical and modelling tools to better assess the linked biophysical and economic constraints facing the food system, and applying these tools to help explore potential pathways/trade-offs and promote the development of more resilient and sustainable food systems in Australia and abroad.
