• Programmer (Contract): C#/Python Script Programmer
  Expressions of interest from consultants are sought to undertake a 2 year contract to develop code for fast model execution, assist the other researchers in interlinking different software modules, write user-friendly front-end interfaces, and translate and optimize the new demographic-genetic climate algorithms developed by the other project researchers into high-performance code in C#, Delphi, Python or a related language.
  Salary: Ongoing project-based contract services, rate by negotiation

• Postdoctoral Research Associate (Level A) #17986: Palaeo-ecological Modelling
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 3 years and will focus primarily on mathematical model development.
  Salary: (Level A, Step 6-8): $74,001 - $79,435 per annum

• Research Associate (Level A) #17987: Palaeo-ecological Data Management
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 2 years and will collate the datasets and develop the models applied to modern abundance time series.
  Salary: (Level A, Step 1-3): $58,534 - $65,221 per annum

• Postdoctoral Fellow (Level A) #17988: Wildlife Population Modelling
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 3 years and will lead the statistical analysis of existing rabbit demographic and range dynamics data sets and build spatial models to assess the suitability of various rabbit control options (in their exotic range) and conservation measures (across their endemic range) in the near and long-term future at local and regional scales.
  Salary: (Level A, Step 6-8) $74 001 - $79 435 per annum

• Postdoctoral Fellow (Level A) #17989: Disease Modelling
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 2 years and will lead the statistical analysis of existing rabbit disease data sets and build epidemiological models that account for environmental variation and how disease dynamics may respond to climate change.
  Salary: (Level A, Step 6-8) $74 001 - $79 435 per annum

• Research Associate (Level A) #17990: Data Management and Analysis
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 18 months and will carry out extensive literature reviews to establish key drivers of rabbit disease and demographic rates, prepare spatial data for models and ensure effective knowledge transfer between research staff.
  Salary: (Level A, Step 1-3) $58,534 - $65,221 per annum

• Postdoctoral Fellow (Level A) #17992: Climate Change and Range Dynamics
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 2 years and will lead the development of models that integrate bioclimatic envelopes, ecological dynamics and genetic traits, to better inform habitat restoration under global change.
  Salary: (Level A, Step 6-8) $74 001 - $79 435 per annum

• Research Associate (Level A) #17991: Ecological Data Analysis
  This fixed term position is available immediately for a period of 2 years and will lay the groundwork for the case studies, organising data sharing with collaborating researchers and Government/NGO agencies, undertaking quality controlled data entry, GIS and species database management, querying and archiving, assisting with model parameterisations, and preparation of publications.
