The position requires a methodical approach to scientific research, attention to detail, innovative thinking, entomological skills, experience in undertaking field trials, experience in stakeholder and industry engagement, and good inter-personal and written communication skills. This role is supported by a multi-year collaborative project involving the almond industry and government researchers in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia and two commercialisation projects for insect lures across different horticultural crops.

The successful applicant will work effectively as a member of the Invertebrate & Weed Sciences Team, a multidisciplinary team of scientists within AST. The position is based at AST’s well-established laboratory and office complex at the Mildura SmartFarm, where the successful applicant will enjoy flexible working arrangements and undertake a wide variety of work across the division.
