You will be responsible for providing professional support for mathematical modelling of systems and phenomena relevant to airborne vapours, aerosols and radiological materials. Research will especially focus on understanding the hazards associated with their atmospheric dispersion.

This challenging position requires:

• Sound knowledge and understanding of the general principles of meteorology and fluid mechanics, particularly the physical basis and mathematical description of meteorological or atmospheric dispersion models. (An understanding of ionising radiation or a willingness to undertake training in this area would be desirable);
• Proven ability in the application of high-level computer programming to the implementation of mathematical models and data collection and analysis;
• Initiative and sound judgement, together with the ability to work effectively as an individual or as a team member;
• Sound communication and interpersonal skills, including effective oral and written communication with the scientific community;
• A degree or diploma from an Australian tertiary institution, or a comparable overseas qualification, or eligibility for graduate membership or, or registration by, an appropriate professional body.
