Science

Research Scientists and Engineers conduct innovative scientific research leading to scientific achievements that are consistent with CSIRO's goals. They may be engaged in any part of a spectrum of scientific/research activity ranging from fundamental research to the investigation of specific industry or community problems.  Working closely with internal and/or external collaborators, they are responsible for delivering impactful research outcomes, and may manage project budgets and research teams.

Science Technicians, or Research Projects staff perform scientific or associated work under the broad direction of research scientists, usually by assisting with the planning and completion of the more practical aspects of the work. They often provide support to multiple research projects across a wide range of science and engineering disciplines.
