Lead, Microbiomes Future Science Platform
CSIRO Future Science Platforms (FSPs) address future scientific challenges for Australia. FSPs support research teams that integrate science and delivery over the long term, looking to the future science needs of CSIRO and Australia, along with our external partners and stakeholders with a five to ten-year vision.
The Microbiomes FSP is developing new understanding of microbiome connectivity across the environment to human continuum and how system perturbations impact on microbiome functionality, diversity and systems health. A key objective is to capture greater benefit from microbiome interactions through more informative and predictive frameworks for functionality and by targeted interventions. Capacity to directly manipulate microbiomes across hosts and environments will provide new opportunities for bio-based solutions to be developed and applied to improve the health of natural and managed environments and for increased benefit to plants, animals and humans.
The Leader of the Microbiomes for One Systems Health FSP will coordinate a program of Microbiome-based research across multiple CSIRO Business Units and assist in the alignment with CSIRO BU strategies to deliver outputs and outcomes to support future engagement with external partners. The FSP Leader will report to the CSIRO Science Council and the Agriculture & Food Business Unit senior management team, but with clear connections to all participating CSIRO Business Units. The leader will be responsible for the day to day management of the science platform, be accountable for the delivery of science including the financial management of the platform.
The FSP Leader will be an impact driven, entrepreneurial and collaborative science leader who actively develops and manages an exciting portfolio of science across several application domains and across multiple CSIRO Business Units that includes; i) Environment, Soil & Plant Health, ii) Food Chain & Production ii) Diet, Gut and Health and iv) Optimized Industry & Urban Processes. A key responsibility is to promote collaboration across the science portfolio to bring the best internal and external capability to address the needs of the FSP.
