---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kirsten Anne Larsen <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Feb 9, 2013 at 9:18 AM Subject: Job Opportunity: Sustainable Food Systems - come work with us! To: Kirsten Anne Larsen <[email protected]> Cc: Christopher John Ryan <[email protected]>, Graham Turner <[email protected]> We have an exciting early career research opportunity for an individual with knowledge of how food and agriculture systems work, a passion for the details, and an analytical, methodological approach to exploring and identifying significant factors and relationships. You will also need technical proficiency and/or experience programming in Object Oriented Languages, with capability to learn to program ASFF (based on 'what-if' software platform:http://www.whatiftechnologies.com/). This new position is part of an ARC Grant to extend the work done in "Victorian Food Supply Scenarios: Implications for a Nutritious Diet"<http://www.ecoinnovationlab.com/uploads/attachments/article/420/Food%20Supply%20Scenarios%20-%20Full.pdf>. The successful applicant will be responsible for identifying and researching appropriate quantitative settings for different future food scenarios (e.g. effects of regenerative agriculture practices; energy use throughout the food system; use of wasted water and organic material) and applying these in new configurations in the Australian Stocks and Flow Model (formerly CSIRO Australia). It's a unique opportunity for a researcher who is keen to develop expertise in systemic analysis of food systems, who also has the technical skills to work directly on programming a complex systems model.
