The Australian National University (ANU) is seeking to appoint a Director of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator – National Research Infrastructure (ACCESS-NRI).

ACCESS is a suite of software that lies at the heart of Australia’s outstanding climate and weather modelling capability. The research community has secured substantial support from the Australian Government and universities to transform ACCESS into a well-managed, high-quality platform supporting Australian research, positioning Australia internationally in the global climate and weather modelling community.

The successful candidate will be an internationally recognised leader of research and/or innovation in climate, weather and Earth Systems modelling with demonstrated high level strategic thinking and a proven ability to develop, lead and manage complex projects and multi-institutional endeavours involving multiple partners and stakeholders to build a cohesive community. The successful candidate will work collegially to deliver strategic objectives and secure positive outcomes for the University. The successful candidate will hold a PhD or equivalent professional experience. Familiarity with the Australian national Research Infrastructure landscape, or with publically funded research institutions and infrastructure would be highly desirable.
