Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Collaborative Research on Aquaculture & Fisheries

Auburn University School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences is seeking candidates for PhD fellowships in Aquaculture Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology. This is an intensive program with course work and research in Fish Genetic Enhancement, Molecular Genetics, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics, Quantitative Genetics, Reproductive Biology and Cell Biology. Exposure to a wide breadth of research in these areas will be expected in both the field and the laboratory, including fish care, physically demanding field work as well as extensive laboratory research. The purpose of the program is to develop cross-trained scientists in a combination of aquatic quantitative genetics and genomics to address future needs of the United States aquaculture research community, and to best utilize developing technologies for aquaculture genetic enhancement with emerging genomic tools. 

Candidates with either a Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree will be considered. To apply, please send a CV, letter of interest, references and transcripts by email to Rex Dunham ([email protected]).
