Role highlights
- Great opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research projects that improves mine safety & operational efficiency
- Apply your skills in distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS), geophysics, and machine learning to real-world challenges
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable resources sector!
The opportunity
Are you passionate about advancing technologies that make mining operations safer, smarter, and more sustainable? Join CSIRO’s Distributed Mine Sensing Team in the Sustainable Mining Technologies research program, where your expertise in sensing technologies and data analysis will directly contribute to improving geotechnical risk management across the mining industry.
In this role, you will work at the forefront of distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) innovation, applying methods such as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), distributed temperature sensing (DTS), and distributed strain sensing (DSS) across both laboratory and field environments. You'll collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team to design experiments, develop software tools, and leverage machine learning to automate and enhance the interpretation of complex datasets.
This is a unique opportunity to contribute to projects that bridge fundamental research and real-world applications. You'll engage with internal stakeholders and industry partners, helping to translate scientific discoveries into practical outcomes that align with CSIRO’s mission to deliver a safer, more sustainable future for the mining sector.
