VS CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Social-Ecological Systems Integration
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation.
The Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform (VS FSP) is a substantial new 5-year investment in cutting edge research by CSIRO that will recruit several post-docs who will be embedded in diverse inter-disciplinary research teams. The VS FSP aims to co-produce future pathways, measures, and indicators to underpin sustainable innovation and prosperity for current and future industries and communities.
This position falls within the ‘Functional Ecosystems for Nature + Prosperity Project’. It offers an exciting opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team aiming to develop new leading indicators of ecosystem health and integrity within a social-ecological systems context and embed these indicators into decision processes to accelerate practice change for nature-positive outcomes across agri-food and nature-based systems.
The successful candidate will drive social-ecological systems research to inform the design of fit-for-purpose ecosystem indicators and embed them in social processes. The research will develop knowledge-to-action frameworks for uptake of indicators in diverse decision contexts. This will include developing novel approaches to link stakeholder values to ecosystem functions, and co-design ecosystem health and integrity indicators suited to assessing ‘values at risk’ from ecological change. The research will include addressing diverse and contested values and characterising system boundaries and scales relevant to both social interactions and transactions, and ecosystem function.
