Cropping Systems Modeller

• Contribute to innovative scientific research achievements that are aligned with CSIRO’s strategies.
• Use your experience in cropping systems modelling.
• Join CSIRO – Australia’s leading scientific research organisation!

CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food Business Unit apply world class multidisciplinary science, technology and facilities, relevant IP and global networks across the value chain to create healthier, trusted, safer and more sustainable food and fibre for the future.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Cropping Systems Modeller to Contribute to innovative Scientific research achievements that are aligned with CSIRO’s strategies by collaborating with members of a diverse project team and external partners.

In this role you will work closely with leading scientists in crop physiology, genetics, farming systems research and modelling, and digital agriculture to solve complex problems related to design of crops and cropping systems to increase productivity, resilience, and sustainability of agricultural systems.

You will have extensive skills in modelling crops and cropping systems, with a strong interest in the integration of knowledge and data from relevant disciplines and evaluation of crops and cropping systems performance.

A willingness to engage with industry engagement and demonstrated ability to deliver high quality research outputs into projects in a timely manner is essential.

You will be prepared to deploy cropping systems models in an innovative fashion to solve complex systems problems.

An understanding of modern data science, AI and remote sensing technologies, and how they may be used in conjunction with cropping systems modelling would be an advantage.
