Brad Pusey is a Senior Research Fellow with the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University and Research Professor with the Centre for Excellence in Natural Resource Management at the University of Western Australia. 

He is interested in the ways in which the distribution, ecology and evolution of freshwater fish help to inform about the way in which tropical rivers  function.  He undertook his PhD at the University of Western Australia examining life history and physiological adaptations by fishes to life in acidic temporary wetlands. The majority of his research career has been undertaken in tropical and subtropical regions of Australia, first with the Centre for Catchment and In-Stream Research, then the Centre for Riverine Landscapes and latterly with the Australian Rivers Institute.  He is a member of Tropical Rivers and Coastal Knowledge (TRaCK) program. He has led or co-led several projects associated with environmental flow management, ecohydrological classification of Australia’s natural flow regimes, flow- ecology relationships and the structure of aquatic food webs in tropical Australian rivers in addition to studies on biogeography, phylogeography and evolution of northern freshwater fishes.  He was the editor of Aquatic Biodiversity of the wet-dry tropics of northern Australia: patterns, impacts and future (in press, Charles Darwin University Press), co-author of Freshwater Fishes of north-eastern Australia (2004, CSIRO Publishing) and co-author of over 120 scientific papers, book chapters, conference proceedings and reports.
