The opportunity
CSIRO’s Indigenous Research Governance team is seeking a Senior Advisor – Indigenous Research Governance to help strengthen the organisation’s capability to conduct Indigenous science respectfully, ethically and with integrity.
In this role, you will provide specialist advice and practical support to Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers. You will contribute to culturally appropriate policies, processes and practices; support research ethics and governance; build capability through internal forums, guidance and initiatives; and help monitor emerging developments in Indigenous science, research, data governance, data sovereignty and Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property.
Reporting to the Executive Manager, Indigenous Research Governance, you will collaborate with CSIRO researchers and Research Units, Indigenous communities and stakeholders, and national and international research partners to support best practice in Indigenous science.
You will bring cultural capability grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing, developed through lived experience as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, together with strong community connection and credibility.
