About The Role

 The Department requires a skilled Data Analyst/Applied Statistician/Programmer to work in a team delivering biosecurity analytics and modeling. The successful candidate will work with fellow statisticians, data analysts, and policy/operational stakeholders to develop and implement biosecurity risk, control, and expenditure modeling approaches to contribute to evidence-based biosecurity policy and operations.

  • Contributing to on-going model development efforts, including collaborative modelling projects being led by the section and with the Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis at the University of Melbourne
  • Engaging with policy areas during the development and implementation of models, including the communication of model results.
