- Deliver impactful science to ensure sustainable and well managed Southern Ocean fisheries.
- Ongoing role which will provide Antarctic fieldwork opportunities.
**Who we are**
The Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) is part of the Commonwealth Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. As primary agency for Australia's Antarctic Program (AAP), the AAD is responsible for achieving the Australian Government's Antarctic goals.
These goals are to:
- maintain the Antarctic Treaty System and enhance Australia's influence within it
- protect the Antarctic environment
- understand the role of Antarctica in the global climate system
- undertake scientific work of practical, economic and national significance.
The AAD also has responsibility for administering the Australian Antarctic Territory and the Territory of Heard and McDonald Islands.
The AAD Science Branch leads, conducts and supports a world class program of scientific research and environmental management, consistent with national priorities through the Australian Antarctic Science Strategic Plan. The branch provides research and advice to support Australia’s Antarctic policy objectives, including participation in the Antarctic Treaty system and other international committees, commissions and intergovernmental panels. It manages and administers the Australian Antarctic Science Program (including project requests, assessment, and reporting) and provides scientific and research advice to support regulatory and management decisions. The branch provides scientific advice for Antarctic capability projects, conducts impact assessments and develops strategies to address environmental legacies, and undertakes targeted outreach promoting the value of Australian Antarctic science.
The responsibilities of the Science Branch are diverse as we lead the Australian Government’s scientific program in Antarctica. Our research addresses critical issues including climate change, the human footprint in Antarctica, and the conservation of Antarctic and Southern Ocean wildlife. Our diverse research program covers physical and life sciences in the atmosphere, terrestrial and marine domains.
Research themes include:
- understanding key high latitude processes;
- reconstructing past climate from ice cores; understanding the role of sea ice in climate and ecosystem processes;
- assessing the Antarctic ice sheet and its contribution to sea level rise;
- undertaking strategic and integrated monitoring of biological and physical variables;
- data processing and synthesis;
- performing environmental assessments and conservation planning to inform and drive management and policy;
- undertaking risk assessment and remediation of contaminated sites;
- ensuring sustainable and well managed Southern Ocean fisheries and understanding krill as the foundation of the Southern Ocean ecosystem.
The Southern Ocean Ecosystems Programme conducts research and development of innovative techniques towards ensuring sustainable and well managed Southern Ocean fisheries and understanding krill as the foundation of the Southern Ocean ecosystem.
**The Job**
- Lead AAD’s engagement, in collaboration with the AAD’s Technology and Innovation Branch, for the design, development and management of the land-based AAD/ UTAS krill research aquaria.
- Manage the maintenance and operation of krill science facilities on land and at sea on the RV Nuyina, including the wet well and containerized research laboratories.
- Manage technicians and facilitate the work of research scientists at the land-based krill aquaria facilities and on RSV Nuyina.
- Manage scientific experiments at the land-based krill aquaria facilities and at sea.
- Undertake marine science voyages of up to ninety days in duration in two of every three years.
**What we are looking for**
**Knowledge and experience**
- A demonstrated track record of fostering multi-disciplinary collaboration towards effective science outcomes, and contributing to a positive and inclusive team culture, to deliver effective science outcomes.
- Demonstrated high-level expertise and experience in developing and managing research aquaria or aquaculture facilities.
- Demonstrated high level experience in developing and managing ship-based marine science facilities.
**Skills and capabilities**
- Demonstrated ability to work both independently and as part of a specialist research team, and to engage widely and develop and sustain beneficial external collaborations and working relationships.
- Demonstrated strong verbal and written communication skills to stakeholders, including the general public.
