Full time Fixed Term - 2.5 years Bundoora Campus Work with inspiring people who are driven to make a difference
About the position
This position contributes to the ARC linkage project “Identifying hotspots of endemism for invertebrate conservation in south-east Australia”, led by Prof. Heloise Gibb (La Trobe University) and including partners from Zoos Victoria, DEECA, Australian Museum, South Australian Museum, UNSW, Deakin and Monash University.
This project will inform conservation planning by identifying the distributions and drivers of forest invertebrate diversity and endemism in south-eastern Australia and providing solutions for biodiversity protection and restoration. Focussing on the poorly-known and dispersal-limited leaf litter invertebrates of south-eastern Australian wet forests, the project will: 1. Document and georeference biodiversity; 2. Identify hotspots of endemism for conservation prioritisation and model their relationship with contemporary and past environments; 3. a) Estimate the loss of phylogenetic diversity caused by past and future environmental threats; and b) Predict where undiscovered endemic species persist.
The position will contribute to field and lab collection and collation of data. They will model hotspots of endemism and how they relate to past environments and make predictions about how endemic species will be affected by global change. A key outcome will be publication of research in peer-reviewed journals that contributes to our understanding of current and future species distributions, including currently undescribed species.
Duties will include but not limited to:
Acquire and interpret research data and results. Run analyses and tests using specified and agreed techniques and models. Contribute to the development of techniques, models and methods. Specific to this project: Spatial analysis, mapping and site selectionField sampling, including litter sampling using Tullgren funnelsIdentification of terrestrial invertebratesDNA sequencing for barcoding and phylogenetics and analysis of genetic dataDatabase organisation and entryStatistical modelling including analysis of phylogenetic endemism Conduct and publish, or otherwise disseminate high quality and/or high impact research/scholarly activities under limited supervision either independently or as part of a team.
