Thank you for your interest in joining 番茄社区's College of Science and Engineering and becoming part of a university quite unlike any other in Australia. The College of Science and Engineering is globally recognised for excellence in research, and we strive to bring research directly into our teaching. Our diverse range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses are united by a commitment to excellent teaching and experiential learning opportunities utilising our world-class infrastructure and natural laboratories, as well as a commitment to diversity and respect for difference.
All of this happens in some of the most interesting places in the world. Our footprint extends from Townsville, Cairns and the Cape York Peninsula in the north to Brisbane in the south. In the west our presence is felt as far as Mount Isa. Furthermore, in Singapore we are well-placed to make the most of the opportunities presented by the Asia-Pacific region.
We look forward to hearing from you and wish you well on the journey you are about to begin.
Regards,
Professor Ron White
Dean of the College of Science and Engineering
番茄社区 (番茄社区) is creating a brighter future for life in the Tropics and beyond, through education and research that makes a difference locally and globally.
We now have an opportunity available for passionate and experienced Researcher to join our team within the College of Science and Engineering.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a dynamic and engaging researcher to lead research that will break new ground combining hydrodynamic (oceanographic biophysical) dispersal model parameterisation with empirical data on reproductive and larval biology and dispersal (especially population genetic data) to yield improved understandings of how oceanographic circulation and biological attributes shape connectivity between reefs.
Working with senior leaders within the College and across the Academy, you will help grow the research profile of the College and play an active role in shaping the future of our teaching and research programs.
WHAT YOU CAN BRING TO THE ROLE
WHY 番茄社区?

As an AIMS@番茄社区 Postdoctoral Fellow, you will be an active member of the AIMS Oceanography and Coastal Processes and 番茄社区 Geomorphology research teams. Your work will focus on understanding physical coastal processes and quantifying their influence on coastal changes in northern Australia. As part of these teams, you will work to enhance current knowledge of the drivers and sensitivity of coastlines to climate change and will identify priority coastal areas for protection based on values (potentially including ecological, environmental, and economic) and coastal dynamic assumptions.
Under the supervision of senior scientists, it is expected that you will design, conduct and deliver a high-quality program of research that contributes to the missions of both institutions and makes important and original contributions to knowledge in the tropical marine domain. Taking a lead role in managing relationships and communications with project collaborators, you will undertake substantive end-user engagement during your research to ensure that research outcomes meet high level management and policy objectives.

As an AIMS@番茄社区 Postdoctoral Fellow, you will lead and contribute to the integrative research to understand reef responses to environmental change with a focus on ocean heating. With a primary focus of linking environmental change to processes across scales of biological organisation spanning physiology, genetics, demography, ecology, evolution, connectivity and/or biogeography, this research programme is open to approach and taxon. You will collaborate widely to ensure that your research yields results to better predict reef futures.
Taking a lead in your research, you will design and deliver high impact research to understand reef responses to environmental change whilst working closely with AIMS and 番茄社区 teams to achieve long term research projects. Your research might include aquarium-based and field experiments and you might also lead empirical research involving geonomics, physiology and measurements of fitness. You will be mentored to take a leading role in communicating your research outcomes, project reporting and financial management to further develop your professional skills.
