Brisbane, Queensland, Australia beBeeIndigenous Full time $131,000 - $153,000

Embracing Indigenous knowledge systems and sovereignty is a pivotal aspect of advancing science infrastructure in Australia.

The role of the Indigenous Research Manager involves leading a transformative initiative to embed Indigenous knowledge systems, governance, and data sovereignty principles into national research collections and digital infrastructure.

This position requires a highly motivated and culturally grounded professional with experience in leading projects or programs that centre Indigenous knowledge systems, community priorities, or cultural governance.

Key responsibilities include overseeing the delivery of a major project co-designed with an established Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to guide the ethical integration of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Indigenous Data Sovereignty (IDSov) principles into collections policy, governance, and practice.

Strong relationship-building and stakeholder engagement skills are essential, including demonstrated trust-based work with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities.

Experience in managing multi-stakeholder or cross-disciplinary projects, with responsibility for delivery, reporting, and navigating complex policy, cultural, and scientific environments is also required.

The successful applicant will be required to provide evidence to confirm their identity as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person and contact details of at least one Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Cultural Referee.

Job Requirements
  • Lead the delivery of an Indigenous co-designed research project within CSIRO's National Research Collections and Digital Infrastructure project.
  • Collaborate with the NCMI Science Director, Research Project Advisor – Indigenous Science, and the NRCA and ALA teams to co-design and implement project activities that centre Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges, priorities, and governance.
  • Support the effective operation of the established Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Reference Group.
