Description:
We are seeking a candidate for a Master of Science assistantship in Fisheries at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. The student will develop genomic (RADseq and potentially whole-genome) datasets for Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) and help conduct a fine-scale analysis of genomic variability and population genomic structure in the eastern Bering Sea. The successful candidate will work with samples from diverse sources and will have opportunities to work closely with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Gene Conservation Lab and NOAA's Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The vision of this project is to inform state and federal fisheries management in the North Pacific; thus a candidate with interests in genomics, conservation genetics and/or fisheries is desired.
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in biology, evolution, fisheries, genetics, or other relevant discipline. Experience with molecular biology techniques and coding in R is desirable, but not necessary. A willingness to learn, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic are essential.
