**About the Role**

This is an exciting opportunity for a dedicated researcher to join the Forest Hydrology Research Group and discover the catchment scale factors that contribute to increased stream water colour in forested upland catchments. Water colouration in natural ecosystems is a poorly understood ecohydrologic process, and the aim of this project is to identify the dominant source (or sources) and processes of water colouration from a diversity of forest ecosystem types.

The research position will require extensive field work involving the establishment and operation of field instrumentation in natural _Eucalyptus_ forests in southeast Australia, in addition to laboratory experiments and conceptual model development. As part of a collaborative team, you will have the chance to work closely with researchers in the field and our industry partner, Melbourne Water.

This role offers the unique opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of catchment scale factors and their impact on water quality, while making a significant contribution to the field through publications and conference presentations. Join us in our mission to address the challenges of water treatment for human consumption and make a tangible impact in the field of forest hydrology.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Working under the guidance of the Chief Investigators, plan and carry out research on water discoloration in forested upland catchments.
- Developing effective timelines and milestones for completion of the research projects.
- Contributing to work as a team and further the research group's output, including contributions to the Forest Hydrology Research Group's research and scientific communication objectives.
- Actively participating in communication and dissemination of research findings and their implications, to government, industry and collaborators.

**Who We Are Looking For**

You are a collaborative individual with a track record of working effectively with industry partners. You excel both as an independent researcher and as a valuable contributor within a close-knit team environment.

You will also have:

- A PhD in Forest Science, Spatial sciences, Hydrology, Chemistry, Soil Science or other relevant biophysical discipline.
- A record of high-quality research as evidenced by publications in leading journals and at conferences, commensurate with opportunity.
- Demonstrated ability to develop, administer and see through to completion appropriately designed research projects with limited supervision.
- Demonstrated ability to undertake field research.
- For further information regarding responsibilities and requirements, please refer to the attached PD.

**Please note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this position**. This role requires current valid work rights for Australia.
