**Role Highlights**:

- **Bring your coding & data analysis skills to an exciting role that contributes to sustainable farming practices**:

- **Great part-time role, collaborating with leading researchers, agronomists, and state partners across Australia**:

- **Make a real impact in advancing low emissions farming systems through innovative research and data-driven solutions**

**The opportunity**:
Join CSIRO’s dynamic ‘Footprints & Credentials’ group, where we’re shaping the future of environmental sustainability in agriculture. As part of our ‘Sustainability Assessment and Metrics’ team, you'll play a key role in advancing low emissions farming systems and supporting projects with key stakeholders.

In this exciting role, you’ll work closely with a diverse team of agronomists and researchers, contributing to the delivery of best practice emissions intensity data that helps drive sustainable farming practices. Using your experience in data analysis and coding, you will be working with process-based models and collaborating with state partners in Western Australia, South Australia, and New South Wales, to ensure our research is impactful and results-driven.

If you're passionate about sustainability, data analysis, and using your skills to transform agricultural practices for a greener future, this is the role for you

**Your high-level duties will include**:
