These roles sit within the Seamless Prediction Science Section of the Bureau's Research Program but is primarily focused on delivering Bureau contributions to the Australian Climate Service (ACS) and the National Climate Risk Assessment. ACS helps emergency management and federal and state government customers to better understand the threats posed by a changing climate and natural hazards, to limit the impacts now and in the future. This role involves developing extensive climate and natural hazard information in a single national view, such as leading the curation of scientific inputs for the National Climate Risk Assessment, and other ACS initiatives.

The Science and Innovation Group looking for candidates with the following expertise:

Hazard and Climate Risk Scientist:

You will be a member of a team that contributes to research with a key focus on ensuring Australians are able to respond to current and future natural hazards and associated disasters, including for ACS.

You will conduct research, both independently and under guidance, and analyse observational data and extremely large data sets based on output from earth system models and reanalyses using a variety of sophisticated statistical and physical techniques. You will integrate hazard and climate risk information for National Climate Risk Assessment hazards, across all timescales from days to decades. This role will focus on one or more of the following: drought and aridity, tropical and extratropical cyclones, thunderstorms and other phenomena leading to wind, hail and or flooding hazards including coastal flooding;

The successful candidates will need to have:

  • A very good understanding of the physical processes that lead to a wide range of weather and climate impacts in Australian region and beyond, including naturally occurring climate variability and human induced climate change.
  • 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.
  • Experience liaising effectively with external stakeholders. Experience in delivering services and/or operational products is highly desirable.
  • Excellent analytical and scientific programming skills, including experience with scientific and visualisation languages including Python.
