About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship is part of Drought Resilient Innovation – Seeding Economic and Ecological Diversity, a project focused on strengthening the diversity and functional resilience of native groundcover in grassy woodlands. The successful fellow will help design and deliver glasshouse and field-based trials that test restoration interventions such as site preparation, soil amendments, planting approaches, and drought manipulations.

The role is based at Western Sydney University on the Hawkesbury Campus, with flexible working arrangements, and sits within a collaborative research environment that involves investigators and partner organisations. The project extends across the NSW western slopes and is designed to produce evidence that can inform practical restoration guidance for government, industry, and land-management partners.

The appointee will analyse ecological data, monitor biodiversity outcomes and co-benefits, and communicate results through scientific publications, technical reports, presentations, and stakeholder-facing research products. The position also offers the opportunity to support multi-site restoration trials and contribute to the supervision and mentoring of Higher Degree Research students.

The work is centred on ecological restoration of drought-resilient groundcover, with a strong emphasis on plant and soil ecology, trial design, and translating research findings into applied restoration practice.

Funding details

Full-time 3-year fixed-term postdoctoral position at Academic Level A with salary of $98,611 to $119,137 per annum plus 17% superannuation and leave loading; employer visa sponsorship provided if required.

What's required

A PhD, or progress towards formal completion of PhD thesis examination, in ecological restoration, soil ecology or a relevant field is required. Applicants should have strong theoretical and practical knowledge of plant and soil ecology in grassy woodlands, demonstrated experience designing, implementing and managing glasshouse or field-based restoration trials, and experience assessing aboveground and belowground restoration outcomes and undertaking climate-change manipulations. Strong communication and organisational skills, with the ability to publish research and deliver outcomes with multiple collaborators, are also required.
