An estimated 200 scientific roles have already been earmarked for axing as the union says the move is a 'dark day' for science.
Australia's national research body, the CSIRO, will cut up to 500 jobs as part of a broader organisational restructure.The CSIRO staff union has called on the government for more funding to ensure it can continue to carry out world-class research.The CSIRO will cut up to 500 jobs in a wave of reforms the agency's staff union says is gutting the organisation's capacity to do research.
Dr Hilton said the CSIRO was "doing everything possible to minimise staffing impacts" including voluntary redundancies. Research projects in nutrition and human health in Sydney and Adelaide will be closed down as a result of the cuts, the union said. Ms Tonks and the union have called for the minister's intervention in the agency, saying the CSIRO's core purpose is being undermined by the restructure.
