CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ecological Modelling and Prediction

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.
At present science is currently unable to make spatial projections of the future state and extent of Australia‘s ecosystems at resolutions suitable for local management. This is a major challenge as it limits our ability to quantify expected changes in structure, function and composition of ecosystems, which are needed to effectively mitigate future risks to ecosystem services.
This project will integrate cutting edge dynamic ecosystem models and data analytics with projections of fire regimes under future climate scenarios to better understand bushfire resilience. The successful candidate will lead the development of a toolkit for quantitative and spatially explicit modelling of ecosystem states and transitions. They will leverage advances in data analytics, hybrid machine learning and cloud computing to develop digital methods to automate a set of conceptual dynamic ecosystem models, that will systematically capture information on disturbance-driven changes in ecosystems to describe bushfire fuel ecology.
