Csiro Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship in Soil

3 months ago


Adelaide Region SA, Australia CSIRO Full time

Acknowledgement of Country:


CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia.

We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation

Child Safety:


CSIRO is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people involved in our activities and programs.

View our Child Safe Policy.

The Opportunity:

-
Do you have a PhD in Agricultural/Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering or Soil Science?**:


  • Investigate different types of soil carbon stabilizations and how they affect soil carbon turnover time:
-
Join the CSIRO Agriculture and Food Sustainability Program with exciting opportunities to partner with multiple other CSIRO Initiatives


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.


We are thrilled to be able to deliver on the commitment we made in our strategy to invest in frontier science with the new CSIRO Agriculture & Food Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme.

The word Winanga-y (pronounced win-na-gnay) is a cultural asset gifted by the Gomeroi Nation in Myall Vale to CSIRO's Agriculture and Food Business Unit to name the Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme.

Winanga-y means to understand, know, remember, and think.


The CERC Fellow will design and conduct laboratory experiments using stable isotope and biomarker techniques to trace carbon and other elements through soil pools.

The CERC Fellow will then integrate these findings into a carbon modelling framework. Overall, the project's objective is to comprehend the drivers, permanence within the system, and CO2 emissions associated with microbial
- versus plant-derived carbon stabilisation in soil using analytical and numerical experiments.


The CERC Fellow will have access in-house and via established collaboration to novel techniques (isotopically-resolved biomarker analysis), facilities, and datasets, and will formulate hypotheses and experiments to leverage this unique combination of resources.

These will be integrated via cutting-edge modelling frameworks for a more comprehensive approach.

This position is embedded in the CSIRO Agriculture and Food Sustainability Program with national and international collaborations.

In addition, the CERC Fellow will have the opportunity to partner with other CSIRO initiatives such as the Towards Net Zero Emissions Mission and the Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform.


Your duties will include:

  • Examining existing and novel approaches to measure different soil organic carbon stabilisation pathways.
  • Integrating the new knowledge into processbased models, including numerical calibration and model testing.
  • Estimating the overall impacts of different soil organic carbon stabilization on GHG emissions, carbon sequestration rate, and its permanency in the environment.
  • Carrying out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.

Location:
Adelaide, South Australia

Salary:
AU$92k - AU$101k plus up to 15.4% superannuation

Tenure:
Specified term of 3 years

Reference: 94845

To be considered you will need:

  • A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as Agricultural/Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering or Soil Science

Please note:

To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_.

_

  • Demonstrated handson experience in the development, use and troubleshooting / maintenance of isotope ratio mass spectrometry and gas chromatography instrumentation.
  • Demonstrated programming skills in one or more scientific coding languages including (but not limited to) Python, R, and MATLAB, and sound knowledge of modern data management practices to ensure reproducibility and traceability of research such as the deposition of data in publicly available repositories and the use of version control systems.
  • Knowledge of, or clear evidence of a willingness to develop, a skillset in the modelling of terrestrial carbon and nutrient flows, including adapting existing models such as RothC, Century or APSIM.
  • A sound history of publication in quality, peer reviewed journals.

Eligibility:

Flexible Working Arrangements:

We work flexibly at CSIRO, offering a range of options for how, when and where you work.

Diversity and Inclusion:

We are working hard to recruit people representing the diversity across
