CSIRO Agriculture and Food are excited to have the opportunity to recruit an early career researcher with a passion for resilient farming systems to work within the GRDC funded ‘Sandy Soils II-Management to sustain production potential in the low to medium rainfall environments of the Southern cropping region’ project team. The CERC Fellow will develop novel farming systems approaches which provide greater insight into the spatio-temporal complexity of agricultural soils to transform sandy landscapes in the southern cropping region of Australia. They will have the opportunity to work across different spatial scales (paddock level to regional level) and will work with farmers/advisors to implement and analyse commercial-scale soil amelioration trials.

The CERC Fellow will collaborate with a team of researchers from within CSIRO who have expertise in soil science, spatial analysis and agronomy. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Spatial Sciences team at the University of Sydney, the Agricultural Engineering team at the University of South Australia, along with other collaborating research agronomists.

**Your duties will include**:

- Develop spatial models to predict where and when in the landscape to ameliorate soil constraints for profitable and sustainable cropping outcomes.
- Advance spatial trial analysis techniques using data from On-Farm-Experimentation (OFE).
- Produce high quality scientific papers suitable for publication in high quality international journals and conferences.
- Carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes

Please note: To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_._
- Experience and skills in programming (eg. R or Python), data manipulation, model development using statistical and machine learning algorithms, and ability to use high-performance computer (HPC) facilities for the prediction of soil and land properties, processes, and functions.
- Experience and/or demonstrated knowledge of GIS and precision agriculture techniques and/or experience in developing and deploying Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) technology at paddock and regional scale.
- Demonstrated ability to conceive and undertake original and innovative research by generating and pursuing novel ideas and solutions to scientific research problems.
