**Company Description**:
**Minderoo Foundation** is a modern philanthropic organisation. We take on tough, persistent issues with the potential to drive massive change. We incubate ideas and accelerate impact. We push the limits of what is believed possible. Minderoo Foundation is independent, forward thinking and seeks effective, scalable solutions. We are proudly Australian, and one of Asia’s largest philanthropies, with AUD $2.5 billion committed to a range of global initiatives. Our team comprises over 250 employees across seven locations.

**Flourishing Oceans** aims to return our oceans to a flourishing state. A healthy ocean is one that can withstand a changing climate and increasing human pressure, is resilient, and free from pollution with a plentiful biomass of fished species. As human pressure increases and the health of our ocean continues to decline, dramatic steps are required to protect and conserve this resource.

Based in Perth, WA and reporting to the Senior Research Scientist, the Post Postdoctoral Fellow, Research and Innovation will be a passionate and energetic individual and will help execute the longer lead-time, science-intensive, national, and international projects aimed at improving the protection of our oceans against climate change.

This role involves scientific investigation, the coordination of operations and the management of projects orientated around conservation genomics.

The role has a global aim that requires an experienced individual with the ability to coordinate projects within universities, industry, and government.

Duties and responsibilities include:

- Under the guidance of Senior Research Scientist, carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to Minderoo Foundation that will, where possible, lead to novel and game-changing scientific outcomes and conservation solutions.
- Working with Minderoo colleagues and national/international collaborators, design and undertake aquarium experiments, fieldwork, and/or modelling activities to investigate the ecological, molecular, and theoretical basis of tolerance to climate change extremes across a range of species and habitats, with a particular focus on coral reefs and in seagrass meadows.
- Organization and execution of complex national/international projects.
- Liaise and collaborate with a broad range of stakeholders including international bodies, external research institutes and universities, government, industry, and conservation organisations.
- Establish a monitoring framework to determine the impact outcome of research initiated.
- Develop and manage project budgets.
- Produce high quality scientific papers suitable for publication in top-tier journals and for stakeholder reports to enable conservation action.
- Prepare appropriate conference papers and present those at conferences.
- Contribute to the development of innovative concepts and ideas for further research.
- Link and synergise with other Flourishing Oceans programs.
- Oversight of Masters and PhD students and the active fostering of their development.
- Develop science-based communications and other advocacy tools and undertake media as needed.
- Manage workflow scheduling for the team, and high standards of quality and timeliness.
