Due to the nature of temporary and short-term employment, minimal
training is available and only those with the appropriate experience
and qualifications for the specialised position will be considered.
Please ensure you select the area of research or service to which your
qualification and experience are most suited.
How long is temporary or short-term employment for?
Terms of employment through the Specialist Register vary in
duration from one week to a maximum of 12 months on a permanent to
part-time basis. Salary will vary depending on the experience and
qualifications of applicants and the work involved.
Is this a waste of time and will my registration be taken
seriously?
Although registration does not constitute an offer of employment,
all temporary and short-term staff must first be sourced from the AIMS
Specialist Register, in accordance with the collective agreement. If
an appropriately qualified person for the position cannot be sourced
from the registry, only then can the position be advertised. This
guarantees that your application will be considered before the
position is even advertised…so it’s worth your while to register now.
How do I register?
To register, complete a
Registration Form for each the research or support areas to which
you are most suited and attach a copy of your Curriculum Vitae, then
forward to AIMS by email (recruitment@aims.gov.au)
or post to:
The
Recruitment Coordinator
Australian
Institute of Marine Science
PMB 3 Mail Centre
TOWNSVILLE QLD 4810
Upon receipt, your
Registration Form and Curriculum Vitae will be placed on our
Specialist Register within your nominated areas, for a period of 12
months. At the end of the 12-month period you will be contacted in
regard to registration and be given the opportunity to re-register and
update your information as necessary.
Important notes:
It is
vital that a separate
Registration Form is completed for each area you wish to enrol in
and a separate copy of your Curriculum Vitae must accompany each
application. Failure to do this will result in your application being
lodged in the first area you nominated for only.
Specialists who have received a voluntary redundancy from Australian
Public Service employment in the last 12 months are not eligible for
employment.

Work Visa
