CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ecological Data Integration

• Do you have a PhD in statistics, data science, quantitative ecology, or applied mathematics?
• Contribute to the development of the next-generation of integrative data analytical approaches
• Join CSIRO – Australia’s leading scientific research organisation!

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 project will examine if, and how, digital co-design approaches can fuse multiple sources of evidence to derive robust input to supporting management of wildlife species in ways which strengthen both social and technical confidence in a monitoring program’s outcomes.

The focus of this position is on developing the next-generation of integrative data analytical approaches which enable the meaningful combination and use of multiple different data sources into best available and technically robust monitoring of state and change in ecosystems and/or species.

The successful candidate will test and build new integrated joint likelihood approaches which work with data representing different classes and qualities and explore their ability to act as a technically robust estimator.
