Exciting Opportunities in Interdisciplinary Science

CSIRO is Australia’s leading research organisation with a staff of over 6,000 located across the country. CSIRO is offering prestigious postdoctoral positions in new science investment areas of Biotechnology and Complex Systems. CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellows will be supported with generous personal development opportunities.

CSIRO Entomology, as Australia’s premier entomological research organisation, is seeking talented people for the following position available for a period of 3 years.

Postdoctoral Fellowship in Ecosystems Invasibility as a Complex Systems Property
$52K to $58K + Superannuation
Ref: 0804

The successful applicant will join a new collaborative research group in the area of ecological risk analysis and complex systems science. The position is to investigate the use of complex systems theory to explore the properties of ecosystems that increase their susceptibility to invasion by exotic organisms, and specifically whether the error
tolerance and attack vulnerability of communication networks have parallels in such ecosystem properties as invasibility and resilience.

You will have a PhD in mathematical ecology, mathematics or theoretical physics, and will have the opportunity to apply this knowledge to contribute to one of the most pressing problems for biodiversity, in an area crying out for theoretical advances.
