Field Program Leadership: Coordinate and undertake the inorganic geochemical aspects of the field monitoring program in the Pilbara region. Academic Contribution: Develop educational materials, contribute to co-authoring high-impact journal articles, and engage in teaching related to the project. Document methodologies and lead reporting on the inorganic geochemistry for annual reports and presentations to funding and stakeholder bodies. Mentorship: Train and support casual staff to undertake routine tasks in the laboratory and field. What You'll Bring:
A doctoral qualification in geochemistry or a related field. Proven expertise in geochemical analytical techniques and data interpretation.
