Your duties will include:

Conduct hydrological, groundwater and connected surface-groundwater modelling research to better understand and manage water security and its impacts on the economy, environment and communities of Australia.
Provide input and undertake independent work into new research projects or large multi-disciplinary projects to support the science and impact needs of groundwater characterisation, management, and water security in Australia.
Undertake innovative research related to groundwater hydrology processes, recharge, throughflow, inter-aquifer/aquitard leakage and groundwater-surface water exchanges, including novel methods to integrate hydrological, geophysical and environmental tracer data into hydrogeological models to better understand and manage groundwater resources.

At the higher CSOF6 level, key result areas and duties also include:

Conduct hydrological, hydrogeological and groundwater modelling research using uncertainty (conceptual and numerical) to better understand and manage groundwater resources and its impacts on the economy, environment and communities of Australia.
Lead innovative research related to groundwater hydrology processes, recharge, throughflow, inter-aquifer/aquitard leakage and groundwater-surface water exchanges via combination of hydrological investigations, modelling, geostatistical and uncertainty methods to better understand and manage groundwater resources.
Develop robust hydrogeological conceptual models incorporating conceptual uncertainty and quantify groundwater flow processes to constrain the framework, input and boundary conditions for groundwater flow models used in regional water resource assessments.
Foster collaboration across CSIRO to enhance the understanding of groundwater’s role to support productive sectors such as irrigated agriculture, mining, and energy.
Lead technical scientific reports, scientific writing, and delivery of scientific publications, lead opportunities, projects, specific activities or project components, engage with other specialists across CSIRO and external stakeholders to deliver on projects, present project outcomes, have good communication and writing skills.
Advise policy makers and inform and transfer knowledge to non-scientific audiences as required.

As the successful candidate, you will bring:

Applications will be assessed against the Selection Criteria outlined below. The successful candidate will be appointed at the capability level that best aligns with their demonstrated skills and experience, as determined by the Selection Panel.

Essential

A PhD (or an equivalent combination of qualifications and research experience) in a relevant field such as groundwater hydrology or hydrogeology.
Demonstrated ability to undertake original, creative and innovative research by generating and pursuing novel ideas and solutions to scientific research problems in groundwater science, that have an impact.
A demonstrated publication history of authorship on scientific papers in peer reviewed journals and/or reports, grant applications or inventorship on patent applications.
Established networks in groundwater and more broadly in water science, working with complex settings.
Experience in industry and/or applied research, developing, co-designing and delivering projects for water security challenges.
A demonstrated commitment to health, safety, and wellbeing of staff, willing to challenge the status quo in pursuit of Zero Harm.

Desirable

Knowledge of groundwater science to address key water security issues in Australia.
Experience in programming and working with large spatial and time series data sets.

For full details about this role please review the Position Description.

Not sure if you meet all the criteria?

While it is CSIRO policy that the successful candidate must meet all the essential criteria, there are many ways to demonstrate this. Don’t let the list discourage you. If you are unsure about applying, please reach out to the contact person in the Position Description.
