Professor Marnie Campbell

Professor Marnie Campbell is the Executive Dean of the School of Science, which includes the two major discipline groupings of Science, and Computing and Security. More specifically, this includes Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Cyber Security, Ecology, Environmental Science, Information Technology, Information Science, Mathematics, Physics and Statistics. The School also includes four established Research Centres (Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Centre for Marine Ecosystems Research, Conservation and Biodiversity Research Centre, and Centre for Securing Digital Futures) and are involved in ECU’s Strategic Research Centre, the Centre for People, Place & Planet.

Marnie completed her Bachelor of Science with Honours at Murdoch University and went on to complete a Doctor of Philosophy, Murdoch University, 2000.

Marnie's career maintains a balance between active science research and scholarship, and the interface with environmental management, with the aim of translating science into effective policy and determining how policy directs science. A crucial component of this is helping to guide and create scientists, environmental leaders and decision-makers of the future via innovative (and life-long) education opportunities. This has led to her developing and fostering innovative course/degree designs and research initiatives based upon co-development with stakeholders to meet the needs of government, industry, and community. To succeed, her career has combined non-academic (12 years) and academic (18 years) acumen to provide a modern way of tackling problems.

Professor Marnie Campbell has 18 years' experience in higher education, with 14 of those years in leadership roles, with her most recent previous role as the Head of School of Life and environmental Sciences at Deakin University. Similarly, she has spent six years in leadership positions in government (Australia and New Zealand), and as a consultant to the UN, and a further four years in a pure science role (CSIRO).

Marnie was the 2007 winner of Australian Maritime College (UTAS) Peter Morris Prize for her significant contribution to the enhancement of the maritime industry via biosecurity. She was also the recipient of the Queensland Government Smart Futures Fellowship from 2012-2015 (Restoring Queensland’s seagrass meadows).
