Australian Bureau of Meteorology
Senior Policy & Research Advisor
Melbourne
October 11, 2024
- Executive Level 1, Ongoing
- $110,115 - $120,760 + 15.4% super
- Melbourne, Canberra
This position is offered jointly between the Forecast Innovation Team within the Research Program and the Hazard Preparedness and Response (HPR) National Team within Decision Support Services of the Bureau of Meteorology. Duties will be evenly divided across these teams over the long term, but there will be shorter periods when one or the other predominates. The primary purpose is to enable the rapid adoption of research outcomes into operations, across policy and decision making settings.
Within the Research Program, the Forecast Innovation Team (FIT) undertakes research and development applicable to the weather forecast process, in particular the use of ensemble model output to underpin probabilistic forecasts, leveraging guidance from large-scale and convection-allowing modelling systems including processed Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model output such as IMPROVER. The team also leads the development of improvements to forecast production tools with a focus on severe / high-impact weather. Overall, FIT is facilitating a more efficient forecast process and the production of more reliable and accurate, NWP-based guidance products with a strong operational focus.
The Hazard Preparedness and Response – National team provides deeper connections to Commonwealth and national customers, partners and stakeholders. The team ensures the Bureau's products and services are more relevant, nationally consistent (as appropriate), and deliver outstanding impact and value to our key partners, customers and the Australian Community.
These teams are seeking an able and highly motivated person to facilitate the translation of emergency management and Australian community requirements into research priorities to influence research delivery into operations and communicate research outcomes to these priority sectors.
The successful applicant will have a record of relevant research in an aspect of severe weather or weather related social science. They will support liaison with partners within and external to the Bureau, with particular focus on communicating operational needs to researchers, and current research advances to forecasters. They will participate in the Bureau’s research program under the supervision of more senior staff. During peak periods as required, they will provide detailed interpretative briefings of meteorological data to users, applying current scientific knowledge and strong knowledge of user needs. They will support collaborative research with national and international agencies.
The impetus for this position includes the increased risk of natural disasters faced by Australia and demand for more detailed and sophisticated services in this space to meet community and sector expectations. Efficient deployment of new developments, in response to growing demand, requires an increase in research capability together with closer coupling of research with operations.
