The opportunity
CSIRO Energy is playing a key role in Australia’s energy transition. Work in the Energy Resources Program spans a wide range of geoscience and engineering applications from studies of Australia’s conventional energy resources, low emission fuels including hydrogen, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), long duration energy storage and direct use geothermal energy/groundwater cooling.
As a Research Scientist, you will play a key role in our research on fluid-rock interactions including concept origination, experimental design, interpretation of results and communication of outcomes in support of strategic and externally-funded projects. As part of the Geofluids Team you will also collaborate in research involving novel fluid inclusion and Raman spectroscopic analyses for sub-subsurface energy systems and secure storage of hydrogen and CO2.
If appointed at the senior level you will take a leading role in growing the quality and scope of fluid rock interactions research in the Energy Resources Program, working closely with industry and government partners in externally funded projects applying CSIRO’s expertise in Australia and globally.
Your duties will include:
For appointment at the senior level, you will need to demonstrate a track record of significant impacts from your research. As a Senior Research Scientist, you will be required to originate and develop opportunities for commercial research involving fluid rock interactions and lead multi-disciplinary projects through to delivery for external clients. You will contribute your domain expertise to strategy development in the Energy Resources Program and be able to provide high level advice to government and regulators regarding the potential impacts of fluid rock interactions on safe, long-term containment of fluids in the subsurface.
Location: Perth, Western Australia (Kensington site) preferred. Salary: AU$110,038 - AU$ 148,014 per annum (pro-rata for part-time) plus up to 15.4% superannuation.
