Monday, 08 September, 2008
The CSIRO Staff Association has announced the appointment of Dr Megan Clark as the next chief executive of CSIRO.
“We recognise that Dr Clark will bring a fresh perspective on CSIRO’s interactions with the many diverse industries that CSIRO supports. We recognise her background in minerals and mining that will be an advantage for CSIRO," said Staff Association president Dr Michael Borgas.
The challenges for Clark include:
- reversing the funding cuts from the May Budget and develop a better relationship with government on long-term support for a diverse CSIRO research effort;
- improving long-term career and job stability for the staff of CSIRO;
- improving CSIRO’s internal decision making and bring much greater respect for the knowledge and experience of staff.
