Full Job Description

Who we are
The Office of the Supervising Scientist is responsible for protecting the environment of the Alligator Rivers Region, including Kakadu National Park, from the effects of uranium mining. We conduct independent research and monitoring, participate in and oversee the regulatory process for uranium mining in the region and develop standards and practices for environmental protection.

The Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist conducts world-leading research for monitoring and assessing the environmental impacts of uranium mining. We are a multidisciplinary institute with research programs spanning environmental radiation, water and sediment quality, ecosystem restoration, geomorphology, omics, drone remote sensing and environmental applications of artificial intelligence. Our Radiation research program focuses on assessing the radiation impacts to the public and the environment from uranium mining activities. Our technical capabilities and current work program include:

Low level radiochemistry, alpha and gamma spectrometry laboratories
Measurement of natural decay series radionuclides in air, soil, water and biota (including Aboriginal bush foods)
Radiation surveys of legacy and rehabilitated uranium mining sites
Modelling and assessment of radiation exposure pathways to the public and non-human biota from the dispersion and transfer of radionuclides in the environment
Provision of technical advice on regulatory applications for uranium mining and other radiation-related actions
Engagement with International Atomic Energy Agency technical programs
