CSIRO Industry PhD Opportunity: Time matters — Tracking biodiversity shifts with eDNA This PhD project is a four-year industry-linked opportunity delivered by Curtin University , CSIRO , and Perth Zoo . The research will use environmental DNA (eDNA) preserved in soils and sediments to reconstruct historical changes in animal communities over recent decades, helping to understand ecosystem change, species reintroductions, and conservation restoration. Students will develop and validate new molecu...
