- Demonstrated experience in land surface modelling with a particular focus on soil hydrology, and vegetation dynamics. Therefore, a strong knowledge of soil physics and hydrological processes across multiple spatial and temporal scales, in particular Australian soil and climate systems, is required.
- Experience in the evaluation of spatio-temporal data sets originating from models and observations.
- Flexibility to work effectively and productively as a member of a team under the direction of more senior scientists, and an ability to plan and undertake research and to publish research results.
- Outstanding communication skills, including the ability to write science papers, work plans, present work orally, and translate science outcomes in ways which can be understood by non-expert audiences.
- Good analytical and scientific programming skills, including experience with Linux (preferably in a high-performance computing environment), and with scientific and visualisation.

The role involves close collaboration with scientific and technical staff across the Research Program, and with other Bureau employees and international stakeholders, requiring experience in liaising effectively with external stakeholders.

The Hydrologist role in research is to support and lead research in select projects, and to interact with scientists and external research projects, working collaboratively with Bureau internal staff to deliver research to operations, and working with customers where required.

Tasks include setting up, parameterising, and developing land surface models, to advance soil hydrological processes, such as infiltration, soil surface evaporation and surface ponding.

Openness to collaborate across the Hydrology Sciences section and other teams within Research as well as Research to Operations teams is expected to increase the success of the project deliveries and operationalisation.
