CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Frost and Heat in Pulses
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
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.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a multi-organisation, inter-disciplinary team delivering cutting edge research and development in a project supported by a grant from the Grains Research Development Corporation. This role also offers the opportunity to present the findings of the project in appropriate top-tier journals or at conferences.
The project ‘Frost and Heat Management Analytics’ aims to develop and commercialise analytics-based technologies to help growers manage the impacts of frost and heat in wheat, barley, canola, chickpeas, and lentils. It will develop and deliver solutions to map and monitor frost and heat events on-farm and predict the yield losses from those events. The project will enable delivery of those solutions to growers, agronomists, and others in the grains industry through commercial partnerships with multiple AgTech businesses. Those partnerships will enable transformation of the underpinning science into analytics-products that aid key sowing decisions, in-crop management decisions, and underpin the development of new risk management tools.
As a member of this inter-disciplinary team, the CERC Fellow will work with CSIRO scientists, engineers and collaborate with national and international university and business partners across Australia. The work will specifically focus on the yield response of chickpea and lentils to frost and heat events.
The CERC Fellow will focus on chickpeas and lentils to develop novel knowledge of, and quantify the processes leading to, yield loss associated with frost and heat events at different stages of crop development. The task will require expertise in crop/plant physiology and will be carried out using field and controlled environment experiments and crop simulation modelling.
