Why join our team?
We’re a diverse team of around 15 people based in Perth, Western Australia. Please read our team factsheet for further information on what we do and how we do it. Please also see these statements by our past students.
All of our Hons, MSc and PhD students are CSIRO students as well as being enrolled at their respective universities. This gives all of our students the best of both worlds, with access to a wide range of facilities and expertise at both locations. While we have a strong collaborative relationship with the University of Western Australia, we have students enrolled at other universities across the state, country and also overseas.
