The broad scope for this position includes supporting the development of AST’s IPM research capability: pheromone trapping and monitoring insect pests in almond orchards, with a particular focus on Carpophilus truncatus; field and laboratory research on pest ecology, assessment of crop damage; pest management (biopesticides, biological control and crop hygiene); insect diagnostics; and, close liaison with industry. 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.

Proven ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team conducting research. Ability to collaborate, share information with team members and work well with others in pursuit of team goals.
Well-developed communication skills, with the ability to prepare quality reports, briefs, letters and emails using clear, concise language. Ability to present at conferences, workshops and professional meetings in a clear and interesting way for diverse audiences. Authored or co-authored publications including peer-reviewed journals, conference papers and reports. Primary authorship of research papers being an advantage.
