Hi,
Some benthic ecology jobs are offered at AIMS (Australian Institute of Marine Science), one at Perth, two at Townsville, with good remuneration. The drawbacks? Competition will be fierce, and they're fixed term 2-5 years. Still ... this might be your chance :)

See the respective ads for the emails of AIMS people to direct enquiries to.
