Opportunities now exist for two biometricians/applied statisticians to join
our team of 10 biometricians in DPI. Both positions are based at Knoxfield,
in Melbourne's outer east, about 25km from the CBD, at one of our major
research sites. This unique location offers a choice between city and bush
living as well as extensive employment and educational opportunities for
other members of the family.
The appointees will provide direct biometrical support to projects
primarily managed by DPI staff at Knoxfield and Mildura. The senior
position will head up a small group of two or three biometricians. We seek
biometricians/statisticians who are able to contribute to a variety of
science project areas that range across plant health (which covers the
disciplines of entomology, mycology, bacteriology and virology, and
includes projects in Integrated Pest Management and Green Waste
Management), plant breeding and variety improvement, production systems and
cultural practices, postharvest technology and packaging, quality
assurance, and food safety; viticulture, citrus, nut crops and vegetables,
irrigation and salinity, and engineering.
If you hold a degree in Statistics or Mathematical Statistics, and relevant
work experience, this may be your opportunity to join an organisation that
helps you realise your potential. You will have access to the latest
statistical software, reference books and journals, and be part of a team
of experienced biometricians. We provide challenging work, support on-going
training and development, and value the contribution of our staff.
Applications for these positions close on Friday 28 May 2004.
