[Michael Fletcher]

Hi AQUA People,



I have an exciting opportunity for the right person!


We are looking for a postdoc/lecturer for the next 2 years (with the potential for an extension beyond this) starting ASAP. The successful person would run our lab and projects, and have some light teaching responsibilities (a 4 week 1st year science/geography block and co-supervision of a biogeography field intensive).



Position: Full time Postdoc/Lecturer Level A – 2 years

Salary: $89,712 p/a plus 9.5% superannuation ($98,235 p/a total package)

Start date: ASAP



Role:

Based at the prestigious University of Melbourne, the successful candidate will run the well-equipped palaeoecology/palynology laboratory. Developing existing research projects (analysis and writing of existing data, and development of new datasets), conducting fieldwork, running the daily function of the laboratory, co-supervising RHD students and doing a small amount of teaching in Geography and Science (a small block of 1st year teaching and co-supervision of a field intensive class to Tasmania).



Given the COVID world we live in, the person must  currently be in Australia or New Zealand.

Please pass this around to your networks.



Cheers,
Michael.
