- Full-time and fixed-term for two years
- Located at either the picturesque Townsville Bebegu Yumba campus in Tropical North Queensland, or remote work from another location within Australia
- ACAD Level A $78,220 - $104,521 plus up to 17% employer superannuation contributions, leave loading and other employee benefits

About the opportunity
Small-scale fisheries account for 40% of global fish catch, employ 90% of fishers worldwide, and are vital for food security, poverty reduction, and sustainable resource use. Fisheries co-management is widely regarded as an effective governance approach, but its impacts vary depending on context.
This postdoctoral position aims to conduct a global assessment of fisheries co-management programs to develop a typology, understand governance patterns, and link these to social and ecological impacts.
The fellow will work closely with the Wildlife Conservation Society to support their Community Fisheries program, leveraging long-term partnerships in over 30 countries with Indigenous Peoples, local communities, governments, and other stakeholders.
Research will be conducted independently or as part of a team, including report and publication writing, and co-supervision of postgraduate students. The researcher will communicate regularly with WCS leadership and field programs.
What you can bring to the role
- PhD in a relevant social or natural science (e.g., natural resource economics, geography, ecology, fisheries science), with experience in social-ecological systems and aquatic resources
- Strong quantitative and data analysis skills
- Interdisciplinary skills across social sciences, economics, and natural sciences
- Experience in assessments, systematic reviews, and data communication
- Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder collaboration skills
- Project management and independent work ability, including remotely and under deadlines
