The opportunity:
CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowships help facilitate the recruitment and development of our potential leaders. They provide valuable opportunities for scientists and engineers to launch their careers, extend professional networks and enhance their career prospects.
As a Postdoctoral Fellow with CSIRO Agriculture and Food, you will design and implement innovative research activities that explore current and future on-farm experimentation technologies which enhance N fertilisation strategies across the Australian grains region. Gaining invaluable opportunities to interact with CSIRO colleagues, host farmers, and partners from other institutions, you will be guided and mentored by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and technical experts.
You will undertake research activities to examine how sensors can be deployed with crop models and modern statistical techniques to give farmers near real time N recommendations based upon what is sensed, rather than what is assumed. Utilising a combination of on-farm field experiments, proximal and remote sensing techniques and experimental approaches, as well as simulation modelling, you will provide expert evaluations on these technologies. Extension of outcomes in high impact scientific journals, field days and at conferences will be a key expectation of the Postdoctoral Fellow.
Specifically you will:
Location: Floreat (Perth) Western Australia
Salary: AU $85k to AU $93k per annum, plus up to 15.4% superannuation
