Aetiology and epidemiology of truffle rot in Australia : Find an Expert : The University of Melbourne
<p> We have an open, fully funded PhD position on the causes and epidemiology of truffle rot in Australian orchards. The PhD student will be enrolled at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of Niloofar Vaghefi and Camille Truong from the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. </p> <p> The project will elucidate the biotic and abiotic causes of truffle rot across different regions and provide recommendations for improved management, while equipping the industry with diagnostic tools for early and reliable detection in soils. Activities include identifying affected farms and potential experimental sites in collaboration with growers, surveys of fungi, bacteria and oomycetes associated with truffle rot, and assessing the pathogenicity of commonly isolated microorganisms using glasshouse and field trials. </p> <p> <strong>Eligibility criteria:</strong> </p> <ul> <li>Hsc or Msc in biological sciences or a relevant field, experience in conducting both fieldwork and molecular biology work. </li> <li>Demonstrated writing and communication skills in English, including with stakeholders. </li> <li>Background and laboratory skills in mycology or plant pathology, as well as bioinformatics skills, are desirable. </li> <li>The successful candidate will be based in the Parkville campus in Melbourne and will require to travel for field experiments. </li> </ul>
Come to work with @niloofar232.bsky.social, @fungidownunder.bsky.social and myself on truffle rot in Australian orchards!

Our newest research in @nature.com
We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains

A curated soil fungal dataset to advance fungal ecology and conservation research in Australia and Antarctica
Scientific Data - A curated soil fungal dataset to advance fungal ecology and conservation research in Australia and Antarctica
How do you study invisible organisms, such as fungi, from the environment?
We provide a benchmarked meta-barcoding dataset for soil fungi in Australia and Antarctica, combined with +100 predictor variables to fast-track data exploration, research and conservation.

Most conservation funds go to large vertebrates at expense of โneglectedโ species
Study shows funding bias towards animals like rhino while other endangered species including amphibians and algae disregarded
Conservation funding โ82.9% was assigned to vertebrates. โฆ while fungi and algae were barely represented at less than 0.2%โ
Proud to work towards conservation of #AquaticFungi โ tiny but mighty!
