The Opportunity
- Opportunity to develop methods and tools for mapping buried geology and mineral deposits
- Bring your hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, regolith and geochemistry skills
- Join the CSIRO Mineral Resources’ Discovery Program!
CSIRO Mineral Resources (CMR) is one of the largest minerals research and development groups globally, with a proud track record in delivering innovation and solutions across the mineral resources value chain. We thrive on innovation harnessed by the diversity in our teams, supporting individuals to create a dynamic career path leveraging their lived experiences and identity in an inclusive environment. We apply our expert knowledge and specialised research to provide innovation that solves the complex problems faced by minerals companies, mining equipment, technology, and services (METS) companies, government, and other industry stakeholders.
The role will be based within the Discovery Program focusing on the Sustainable Energy and Resources Challenge, particularly securing mineral resources to enable Australia’s energy transition.
As the Hydrogeologist you will use hydrogeology and hydrogeochemistry to sense and identify different lithologies and mineralisation through deep cover. A key focus of this role will be to develop methods and tools for mapping buried geology and mineral deposits by understanding their expression in groundwaters and define and understand the relationships between cover, basement (including depth to crystalline basement) and the regolith.
