Animal Ethics Committee Member - Category C

The primary responsibility of the Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) is to ensure, on behalf of the institution, that all activities involving animals for scientific purposes are conducted in compliance with the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (the Code) and relevant government legislation. CSIRO is seeking expressions of interest for dedicated individuals to join the AEC as a Category C member as stipulated in the Australian Code. A Category C (Animal Welfare) is a person with demonstrable commitment to, and established experience in, furthering the welfare of animals, who is not employed by or otherwise associated with the institution, and who is not currently involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes. Veterinarians with specific animal welfare interest and experience may meet the requirements of this category. While not representing an animal welfare organisation, the person should, where possible, be selected on the basis of active membership of, and endorsement by, such an organisation.
