About the opportunity

The University of Tasmania is building a vision of a place-based University with a mission to enhance the intellectual, economic, social and cultural future of Tasmania, and from Tasmania, contribute to the world in areas of distinctive advantage. The University recognises that achieving this vision is dependent on the people we employ as well as creating a people-centred University that is values-based, relational, diverse, and development-focused.

We are seeking to appoint an ongoing Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Marine Spatial Science (Academic Level B or C) at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (Centre for Ecology and Biodiversity) part of College of Sciences and Engineering.

This role will focus on integrating marine ecology, seafloor mapping, and landscape ecology to address broad-scale patterns in marine systems, with a particular emphasis on temperate nearshore environments. By combining advanced techniques in marine acoustics (multibeam, sidescan, and interferometric data acquisition) and marine remote sensing; and with an understanding of population connectivity, oceanographic processes, and biogenic habitats, the Lecturer or Senior Lecturer will contribute to research on the distribution of marine species such as reef fishes, seagrass and giant kelp.

The role also will include opportunities to apply these insights to support the sustainable management of marine resources and evaluate the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems. This position will facilitate interdisciplinary research and teaching, while mentoring students in the application of marine landscape ecology techniques.

What you’ll do:

Undertake scholarly undergraduate and postgraduate coursework teaching. Develop new teaching materials (e.g., lectures, interactive teaching sessions, practicals, assignments, and when relevant field excursions) or update existing materials as required, including material for online learning. Undertake high-quality research of national and increasingly of international standing, secure external competitive and other funding, publish research findings and successfully supervise Honours/Masters and research higher degree students. Undertake research in collaboration with local stakeholders to support the sustainable management of Tasmania’s living marine resources. Contribute to the development and maintenance of productive and effective links inside the University and locally and nationally with the discipline, relevant interdisciplinary domains, profession or wider community. When relevant and in line with career progression, develop and/or increasingly provide academic leadership, particularly in fostering outstanding research and/or learning and teaching. Make an effective and sustained contribution to the University in achieving its strategic objectives and fulfilling its operational responsibilities.

What we’re looking for:

 A PhD or equivalent in a relevant field, such as marine and coastal ecology, geography, geospatial science, oceanography. Demonstrated knowledge and expertise in the application of spatial analysis and remote sensing techniques Demonstrated advanced skills with software packages and programming languages for marine spatial science (R, Q-GIS etc). Demonstrated experience effectively engaging with stakeholders, e.g., government, industry and non-governmental organizations, and delivering research relevant to operations and/or management. An emerging (for Level B) or established (for Level C) record of research that has achieved national and preferably increasingly international recognition. A demonstrated record of leading or contributing to quality research publications and conference presentations. Experience in University-level teaching and learning. Demonstrated ability to develop and deliver engaging, high-quality teaching materials in the field of marine spatial science to cater to a diverse range of applications in oceanography, marine resources, marine biology, and governance. An emerging (Level B) or good (for Level C) record of good contributions to successful supervision of research higher degree students  Strong evidence of independent work leading to timely and significant outcomes, coupled with demonstrated effectiveness in team collaboration and building and maintaining productive relationships.
