Canberra, Australia Australian National University Full time

**Classification**:Academic Level B
**Salary package**:$110,162 - $124,903 per annum, plus 17% superannuation
**Term**: Full time, Continuing (Contingent Funding) for 2 years

**The Position**
Located in the Fenner School of Environment and Society (FSES), Sustainable Farms has built an interdisciplinary research program connected with long-term monitoring of biodiversity on farms in the temperate woodlands of Eastern Australia. The findings from the interdisciplinary research are demonstrating the important role that biodiversity plays in supporting ecosystem services and farm productivity. The long-term biodiversity monitoring undertaken by the ANU over more than 20 years, has provided a unique insight into trends in farmland biodiversity and how to better manage for improved biodiversity outcomes.

The Postdoctoral Research Fellow Ecology will work within the Sustainable Farms Initiative focusing on key knowledge gaps associated with the calibration and scalability of innovative, robust, and cost-effective biodiversity monitoring methods. The work has the aim of developing scientifically robust yet cost-effective monitoring methods. The applicant will help to build new datasets using novel field-based survey methods, including multi-spectral drone imagery, passive acoustic recorders, and eDNA. They will use these data, alongside existing field-based methods to compare, contrast, and calibrate different data streams. The research will focus primarily on temperate woodlands in eastern Australia, as well as on the wet forests of Victoria and coastal forests, woodlands, and heathlands of the Jervis Bay Territory. As such, this work will build on the large-scale, long-term studies established by Professor David Lindenmayer across these ecosystems. The research will focus on vegetation condition, birds, and amphibians, with opportunities to research other taxa relevant to the project objectives.

The Research Fellow tasks will include:

- Systematically review current methods for monitoring biodiversity and the statistical approaches used for calibration between different methods.
- Conduct field
- and desktop-based research using new and existing monitoring methods.
- Evaluate the synergies between different methodological approaches currently used for monitoring biodiversity in temperate woodlands and identify methods for harmonising existing data sets.
- Collaborate and connect with external researchers and other ANU researchers working on interdisciplinary research supported by the Sustainable Farms Initiative and other research areas as required.
- Liaise with, and contribute to, outputs for policy makers in the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) engaged in the establishment of reference benchmarks, restoration pathways from modified ecosystem states, and key indicators for monitoring biodiversity over time.

**The Person**
The successful applicant will report directly to Dr Maldwyn John Evans and is expected to work collegially, leading by example to develop and maintain effective, productive, and beneficial workplace relationships within the academic and professional School and College staff, students, and honorary appointees, as well as with industry stakeholders. This position may also have a supervising role for students and will engage in collegial and productive collaborations with local, national, and where possible, international colleagues.
