CSIRO CAREER OPPORTUNITIES: Key Appointments, Australia

CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences delivers the
benefits of smarter information use to organisations.

Our research in mathematical and statistical sciences is
applied in three key areas:
- Biotechnology and Health Informatics;
- Decision Making for Industrial Processes and Business
  Services; and
- Environmental Monitoring for Management.

CSIRO leads significant research in each of these areas,
collaborating with partners in business, government and
within CSIRO and other research organisations to deliver
tangible benefits to Australia. CSIRO aims to grow in
influence and size through its pivotal role in National
Research Flagships and partnerships with other leading
innovators.

The Decision Making for Industrial Processes and Business
Services (DMIPBS) area has been successful in carrying out
world-class research and applying novel mathematical,
statistical, simulation and optimisation methods and
models in key industry sectors. The key long-term goal
of this research is to substantially reduce costs and
improve quality and productivity of processes in
manufacturing, mining, infrastructure and service
industries. This will be achieved through research,
development and adoption of world-class analytical
tools and technologies which have, embedded in them,
advanced mathematical, statistical, simulation and
optimisation models for finding new patterns in and
interpretations of data to turn it into "smarter
information". The key disciplines that underpin the
research and delivery work in DMIPBS are computational
fluid dynamics, mathematical modeling, discrete event
simulation, optimisation, applied statistics and
operations research. Research projects in DMIPBS are
driven by the need to develop novel solutions for
challenging problems.

To support our continued growth and development we
have identified a number of key roles across various
disciplines.

1. Senior Science Leader, Operations Research, (Melbourne, 1 Position)
   CSOF7/8 ($92K - $110K)
   Ref No: 2004/705
   You will be a senior member of a highly successful team
   of operations research professionals and statisticians
   working on challenging industrial applications of
   optimisation and simulation technology. You will have
   a PhD and an established track record in operations
   research or applied mathematics, or equivalent research
   experience. You will have demonstrated skills in the
   application of combinatorial optimisation methods to
   significant industrial problems, including development
   and implementation of efficient algorithms.

2. Research Scientist, Operations Research (Melbourne , 2 Positions)
   CSOF5 ($66K - $72K)
   Ref No: 2004/709
   You will be a member of a highly successful team of
   operations research professionals and statisticians
   working to address critical supply chain challenges
   for Australian industry. You will have a PhD in
   operations research or applied mathematics, or
   equivalent research experience. You will have a
   strong background in optimisation together with
   demonstrated problem-solving skills, including an
   ability to uncover and formulate the optimisation
   problems present in complex industrial scenarios.

3. Software Engineer , Computational Fluid Dynamics, (Melbourne)
   CSOF3/4 ($43K - $64K)
   Ref No: 2004/711
   Your role will be to make a significant contribution
   to the commercialisation of the group's research
   activities through flexible web delivery of the
   group's simulation technologies and the design
   and implementation of C++ GUI front ends for
   current and future capabilities of the group's
   research codes.


Closing date for all positions will be 11 August 2004.
