**The opportunity**:
- **Early research career opportunity if you have a PhD in nutrition, food security, public health, socio-ecological systems or other related health or social science**:
- **An exciting 3-year role at the interface between nutrition, natural resource management and food systems science**:
- **Focus on research to achieve improvements in nutrition and health outcomes for Indigenous communities in Australia**
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
Caring for Country through Indigenous land and sea management is widely recognised for delivering social, cultural, environmental and economic benefits to communities. Such initiatives bring renewed opportunity to support cultural and economic outcomes through traditional foods. This research will bring a nutrition, health and wellbeing lens to this domain, to better understand how Indigenous land and sea management can support access to traditional foods and consumption of healthy diets. This research will articulate food systems pathways to improve the health of Indigenous Australians in a culturally recognised and appropriate way that aligns with Indigenous conceptualisations of health as more than a physical state, but intrinsically linked to culture and Country.
The CERC Fellow will join the Agri-Food Systems research group within the Agriculture and Food (A&F) Business Unit at CSIRO. This research will sit at the interface of natural resource management and public health nutrition to improve health and wellbeing of Indigenous Australians whilst also supporting cultural, social, environmental benefits for communities.
We are thrilled to be able to deliver on the commitment we made in our strategy to invest in frontier science with the new CSIRO Agriculture & Food Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme. The word Winanga-y (pronounced win-na-gnay) is a cultural asset gifted by the Gomeroi Nation in Myall Vale to CSIRO's Agriculture and Food Business Unit to name the Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme. Winanga-y means to understand, know, remember, and think.
**Your duties will include**:
- Working with colleagues in CSIRO, partner organisations, communities and Traditional Owners to strengthen the evidence base for nutrition and health outcomes from Indigenous land and sea management, focusing on access to and consumption of traditional foods.
- Leveraging multiple knowledge systems including Indigenous knowledge and trans-disciplinary science to improve nutrition and health outcomes for Indigenous communities in Australia.
- Supporting the establishment of trusted relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural knowledge holders and organisations.
**Location**: Brisbane, Queensland preferred, other locations considered
**Salary**: AU$96k - AU$105k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
**Tenure**: Specified term of 3 years
**Reference**: 96574
**To be considered you will need**:
- A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as nutrition, food security, public health, socio-ecological systems or other related health or social science. Please note: To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_._
- Demonstrated understanding of the pathways through which agriculture, fisheries, natural resource management and food systems can influence nutrition and health outcomes.
- Demonstrated ability to develop collaborative relationships with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities and broader stakeholders.
- The ability to work collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary, regionally dispersed team, and carry out independent individual research with critical reflection, to deliver high quality outcomes from research.
