CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Automated Development and Application of Agricultural Models
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
The CSIRO Data61 and Agriculture and Food business units have recently established a 3-year shared strategy project for digital/data transformation for Australian agriculture. As a member of this multidisciplinary team, you will work with CSIRO scientists and engineers, and collaborate with national and international university partners to develop automated workflows for model development using data from traditional and novel sources.
The CERC postdoctoral researcher will work closely with leading Data61 scientists in Natural Language Processing and Information Extraction, and the Agriculture and Food business unit Digital Innovations team, developing automated methods to develop and parameterise models using information gleaned from a variety of online sources. Your research will focus on developing computing workflows that inform our world leading farming systems models using novel data sources to provide insights on problems facing farmers. The successful candidate will work within national and international settings and as part of a diverse multidisciplinary team. The developed workflows will be tested and deployed in both scientific and real-world applications. They will present the findings in appropriate top-tier journals or conferences.
