Dynamic Systems Modeller
Research - Academic Level E
Faculty of Science
iCAM Centre and Department of Mathematics
The Australian National University
Canberra ACT
Fractional Appointment, Fixed term

The ANU's Integrated Catchment Assessment and Management (iCAM) Centre and Department of Mathematics are seeking a joint appointee to lead a research
program in environmental systems modelling. The appointee will be expected to have an understanding of modelling issues of concern to federal and state government agencies involved in natural resource management and be able to generate external income to develop an associated program of work involving staff and students from across the campus, CSIRO and the CRC for Catchment Hydrology.

The post requires substantial research experience in developing novel methods of estimation for models of dynamic systems, and of applying them to a wide variety of real systems, preferably including environmental systems with hydrological aspects. A record of research in methods suitable for strongly time-varying models would be a particular advantage. A strong network of contacts in the relevant research communities is expected.

The 50% fractional appointment will commence in Semester One, 2003 for an initial term of three years. A further term would be subject to funding. The position offers a salary of $99,949 per annum pro rata plus generous superannuation provisions.

Enquiries: Professor Tony Jakeman, Director, iCAM Centre, phone: (02) 6125 4742, email: tony@cres.anu.edu.au or Professor John Hutchinson, Head, Dept of Mathematics, email: John.Hutchinson@anu.edu.au.
