**The Opportunity**:
- **Key role for early career Projects Officer in Groundwater Hydrology research**:
- **Contribute to water security across a range of research areas**:
- **Collaborative, flexible, innovative workplace that values you and your career**
The role of Research Projects staff in CSIRO is to collaborate in scientific and technological activities with other research staff usually by assisting with detailed planning, undertaking or assisting with experimental, observational or technology development work, and in carrying out the more practical aspects of the work.
The Groundwater hydrologist will join the ‘Risks to groundwater resources’ team in the Environment Business Unit. This team provides integrated assessments of risks to groundwater quantity and quality to support sustainable development and resilient management of groundwater resources and dependent environments.
Other opportunities to engage with researchers and contribute to groundwater characterisation and management projects include, but are not limited to, regional-scale water resource assessments in Northern Australia and the Murray-Darling Basin.
**Your duties will include**:
- Under limited supervision, contribute to desktop literature review of publicly available reports, datasets, guidance and policy documents related to the assessment and management or mitigation of impacts on water and the environment associated with the exploration and production of hydrocarbons and hydrogen, including renewable energy generation.
- Contribute to the interpretation and communication of research or technological results, collaborate on drafting presentations to, and/or detailed written reports for, clients and the scientific and/or technology community.
- Under limited supervision, collate and integrate spatial, field, remotely sensed and/or modelled data to conceptualise interactions between groundwaters, other water sources and water-dependent ecosystems. This includes spatial data analysis, map making, graph and figure preparation for summary reports and spatial causal network for environmental impact assessment.
- Follow data management and data analysis protocols to maintain the integrity of procedures and ensure quality assurance when assisting with generating scientific outputs.
- Conduct literature and data reviews, undertake field and laboratory investigations, including associated analysis involving statistical or graphics software.
- Work collaboratively as part of a multi-disciplinary, regionally dispersed research team to carry out tasks in support of CSIRO’s scientific objectives.
