FYI – please forward as required

CSIRO, through its Division of Mathematics, Informatics and Statistics, are seeking a postdoctoral fellow to assess the contribution of citizen sciencemethods to improving plant biosecurity

Position Overview
We are seeking a talented quantitative postdoctoral fellow to take on an exciting project as part of the Plant Biosecurity Cooperative Research Centre (http://www.pbcrc.com.au/home). The successful candidate will be working on the application of citizen science data streams to biosecurity applications. The CSIRO is seeking to deepen its abilities to undertake quantitative research underpinning biosecurity decision making. Citizen Science offers new streams of data to support effective surveillance, potentially leading to better management by primary producers, better decision making by governments, and better engagement by communities in managing biosecurity. This project will assess the information content in the data and determine what role, if any, the data has in supporting biosecurity surveillance activities. The work is multi-disciplinary and multi-agency, with staff from CSIRO,  and both state and federal departments of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry. We are looking for someone with a  PhD qualification in statistics or mathematics, with demonstrable conceptual and practical knowledge and skills in modern statistical methods and their application.
This is a 3-year fixed term position based in Canberra.
Should further information on the role be required please contact Peter Caley(Peter.caley at csiro.au<mailto:Peter.caley at csiro.au>)

Closing date:   14 April 2013
