Petroleum and Marine Scientists Needed

Petroleum Scientists Needed (10 positions)

As part of the Australian Government's Energy Security Initiative, Geoscience Australia is undertaking a four year program (2007-2011) to identify new offshore petroleum resources. We seek to build a number of integrated project teams whose work will involve characterisation of 1) basement, 2) the geometry and architecture of the overlying basin fill and 3) the petroleum systems contained therein to deliver acreage release products to the petroleum exploration industry. The ten vacancies include both junior and senior geoscientists and involve basin analysts with stratigraphic, structural and petroleum system skills necessary for the interpretation of seismic datasets and well logs. Two structural geologists experienced in the interpretation of potential field datasets are also required. All positions are available until 30 June 2011.

Marine Scientists Needed (5 positions)

The Marine and Coastal Environment Group provides information and advice to guide decision makers in the resource industry and in government regarding uses of Australia's offshore region and to government to support regional environmental planning. As part of the government's energy security initiative, the Group will be undertaking a program of marine surveys involving seafloor mapping and habitat characterisation from shelf to abyssal depths. The successful applicants will become part of the largest group of marine geoscientists in Australia with opportunities to work on the widest range of marine geoscience projects in the country. Unless otherwise stated the positions are available from 1 July 2007 until 30 June 2011. We have vacancies for a Senior Marine Geologist/ Geomorphologist, a Senior Marine Acoustic Scientist (both ongoing), 2 Benthic Marine Ecologists and a Spatial Modeller
