Research includes the prediction of species distributions under climate change, and strategies for managing habitat restoration and potential extinctions. Much of her work involves the use of statistics and computer science as well as traditional ecological techniques, and seeks to extract useful information from dispersed sources of variable reliability. Elith was awarded the Frank Fenner Prize for Life Scientist of the Year in 2015 and in 2017 was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. 1977 1977 Education - BAgrSc (hons), University of Melbourne 1992 1995 Career position - Tutor, School of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Melbourne 1996 Career position - Member, Ecological Society of Australia 2002 2002 Award - Daphne Elliott Bursary, Australian Federation of University Women 2002 2009 Career position - Research Associate, School of Botany, University of Melbourne 2003 2003 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Melbourne 2007 2010 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, Ecography 2009 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, Ecology 2010 2015 Career position - Australian Research Council Future Fellow, School of Botany, University of Melbourne 2011 Career position - Member, Society of Conservation Biology 2011 2011 Award - Dean's Award for Excellence in Research, Science, University of Melbourne 2011 2015 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, Biological Invasions 2012 2012 Award - Thomson Reuters Citation Award for outstanding contribution to research in Biodiversity and Conservation 2013 Career position - Member, Scientific Advisory Committee, Vegetation Information and Mapping, New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage 2013 Career position - Member, Editorial Board, Diversity and Distributions 2014 Career position - Research Fellow, Centre of Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis, University of Melbourne 2015 2015 Award - Frank Fenner Prize for Life Scientist of the Year, Commonwealth of Australia 2016 2016 Award - Australian Ecology Research Award, Ecological Society of Australia 2016 2016 Award - Fenner Medal, Australian Acaademy of Science 2017 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Science (FAA) 2020 2020 Award - International Member, United States National Academy of Sciences 2020 2020 Award - Ralph Slatyer Medal, Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian National University Fenner Medal, Australian Academy of Science (2000 - )
