Come join an exciting new research project that seeks to discover how changes in land management over the past two decades have affected soil health and plant performance. Capitalising on an archive of well over 10,000 soil DNA samples collected from cropping paddocks across the nation, over more than 20 years, and through glasshouse and field trials, this project seeks to identify fundamental changes in soil biological communities due to changes in farming systems over the past two decades. We are looking to recruit a PhD student to work on this exciting, well-funded, project. The successful applicant will have scope to develop a project that focuses on molecular ecology and/or plant phenomics.
