  • Familiarity with risk assessment frameworks relevant to food safety (e.g., hazard identification, exposure assessment, risk characterisation) or willingness to rapidly develop capability in this area.
  • Demonstrated ability in the use of scientific computer programs (R, word‑processing, spreadsheets and databases) and routine statistical analyses.
  • Demonstrated strong interpersonal and written communication skills, including the ability to synthesise scientific and grey literature, and prepare clear, well‑structured reports, summaries, and scientific outputs for a range of audiences.
  • Tertiary education with Masters or Honours degree in food safety, microbiology, harmful algal blooms or similar field. Equivalent experience in other research/food safety support roles will be considered.
  • Current Australian driver’s license (Class C).
