The Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre (CMERC) is seeking a distinguished Principal Research Fellow to lead progressive research in coastal restoration, ecological resilience, and habitat rehabilitation, with a focus on seagrass restoration. Situated within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area, CMERC is home to the world’s largest seagrass nursery and with major programs in oyster, mangrove, inshore coral and macroalgal habitat restoration.
Based at CMERC’s world-class waterfront facility in Gladstone, you will lead and contribute to impactful applied research across marine ecology, wetland and benthic ecosystems, and climate adaptation, aligned with CMERC’s multidisciplinary programs. You will secure and manage external funding, publish influential research, and mentor emerging scientists. In this role, you’ll join a dynamic and friendly team of marine scientists and restoration experts , delivering innovative, evidence-based approaches to coastal and marine sustainability. Collaborating with industry, government, and academic partners, you will help drive practical outcomes that support biodiversity, fisheries health, endangered species and climate resilience.
This role presents a unique opportunity to develop innovative restoration strategies, advance ecosystem services, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of critical coastal and marine environments. If you are an accomplished researcher with a strong track record and a passion for coastal and marine conservation, this role offers the chance to make a lasting impact in one of the world’s most significant marine regions.
