The successful candidate will hold a PhD in conservation biology, conservation ecology, or a related field, with strong quantitative and data analysis skills, and demonstrated experience using GIS, R, Python, or other related tools.

The postdoctoral research fellow will develop, analyze, and publish research on agreed-upon definitions, metrics, and framework for measuring nature positive, using several Australian properties as case studies.

The role is a fixed term (3 year), full time position based at any of our Griffith University campuses.

As a values-led organisation, we offer a supportive work environment, salary packaging options, corporate health discounts, generous leave entitlements, including paid parental leave and leave loading, and health, safety, and wellbeing initiatives.

  • Test state-wide (Australian), Australia-wide, and global data using the framework
  • Facilitate wide-scale uptake of our definitions, metrics, and framework
  • Develop an online tool that shows what actions are being done, what actions are needed, and demonstrates nature-positive status

The successful candidate will be housed within Griffith University's School of Environment and Science and funded by the Nature Positive Linkage Project, led by leading academics from various universities.

Requirements
  • PhD in conservation biology, conservation ecology, or a related field
  • Strong quantitative and data analysis skills, with demonstrated experience using GIS, R, Python, or other related tools
