About this exciting opportunity
We are seeking someone to provide leadership in modelling of evolutionary and ecological processes to inform the estimation and monitoring of natural and enhanced evolutionary resilience in corals. Embedded in the Coral Reef Adaptation team you will collaborate with and provide linkages between empirical researchers and modellers.
As an experienced Research Scientist, your key responsibilities will include:
-
Development of eco-evolutionary models of adaptation for corals using best available information on relevant ecological and evolutionary parameters under scenarios including and excluding assisted evolution;
-
Designing and leading innovative research that is published in high impact journals to advance understandings of adaptation in wild, captive bred, and enhanced corals;
-
Providing practical advice to scientists, aquaculture specialists, managers and practitioners regarding possible evolutionary and ecological trajectories under differing scenarios;
-
Collaborating with a diverse team including geneticists, ecologists, aquaculturists, oceanographers and modellers;
-
Supervising Early Career Researchers and students to execute impactful research.
About you
Your knowledge of population genetic and quantitative genetic theory will be supported by your PhD in evolutionary genetics or a relevant field. You are proficient in appropriate computer languages, working in an HPC environment, and implementing reproducible research principles. You have demonstrated experience using simulations or similar modelling approaches to address substantive questions in evolution and/or ecology.
You are passionate about teamwork and workforce diversity safety, and your respect for people and the environment will allow you to thrive in this position. You are skilled in communication, both written and verbal which will allow you to effectively communicate abstract concepts to non-specialists.
