Job title PhD in Deep-Sea Genomics and Biodiversity Discovery. Company The University of Western Australia - Minderoo OceanOmics Centre at UWA. Description of the job The University of Western Australia seeks a motivated PhD candidate to join the Minderoo OceanOmics Centre (UWA Oceans Institute) for a PhD focused on pushing the limits of environmental DNA (eDNA) in deep-sea environments. Context: The deep sea harbours the majority of Earth's biosphere yet remains underrepresented in genomics and biodiversity datasets and reference data repositories. Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has transformed biodiversity assessment, but its efficacy in the deep sea is constrained by two key limitations: (1) reference DNA sequence databases are sparsely populated for deep-sea taxa and (2) primer sets not optimised for targeting deep-sea taxa. As a result, much of the signal that is recovered using traditional eDNA metabarcoding approaches remains unclassified or...
