The Opportunity
Australia’s future minerals, energy and water resources will come from greater depths in the onshore regions and from deep offshore plays. Our ability to find, define and exploit mineral resources is limited by a deep and complex regolith that covers about 80% of the Australian land mass. Undiscovered conventional oil and gas lies in deeper or more subtle traps, or else is sourced from unconventional sources onshore that require new geophysical methods to quantify. The science of Deep Earth Imaging will help us more precisely image and understand the significance of subsurface rock properties, which in turn will unlock the resource potential of this vast and relatively under-explored continent.
As a part of this effort, we seek an outstanding early career researcher with a background in Magnetotelluric data processing and interpretation with significant experience in uncertainty quantification to join a growing, world-leading team of 25 researchers. The successful candidate will have experience in developing methods to quantify uncertainties in data processing of magnetotelluric data and will apply this to assess interpretation bias due to simplifying assumptions in forward modelling of magnetotelluric data. The primary research will focus on mineral systems, with a secondary focus on groundwater system modelling and management, and hydrocarbon exploration
