 Position/Title: 

PhD Research Assistantship – phenotypic/genotypic diversity of native trout 

Responsibilities: 

We seek a highly motivated student for a Ph.D. position at the University of Idaho in the recently funded NSF-EPSCoR GEM3 program (https://www.idahogem3.org). The program seeks to understand how genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity affect species response to environmental change, shaping both population response and adaptive capacity. The program is focused primarily on two taxa: redband trout, a subspecies of rainbow trout, and sagebrush. These taxa are integral to aquatic and terrestrial […]

Applications are being accepted for Ph.D. students to work on a large, NSERC Funded project examining the migration biology of Atlantic salmon smolts relative to aquaculture sites in eastern Canada, and the role of pathogen expression on salmon behaviour, physiology, and survival. The positions are based at Dalhousie University and the Ocean Tracking Network, in the lab of Dr Glenn Crossin. Students will also work closely with partners at DFO and the Atlantic Salmon Federation.

Candidates should have knowledge of acoustic telemetry and fish ecology. Quantitative modelling skills and experience with molecular techniques […]

Mandrak Lab
University of Toronto Scarborough

Fish Community Change in Space and Time

The Mandrak lab, University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), has an opening for a Postdoctoral Fellow to conduct research on quantifying changes in fish communities along an urban to rural to forest gradient. The research will be conducted at three scales. A global analysis will be conducted at a watershed scale using existing data with emphasis on testing hypotheses related to invasive species as part of a new […]

Aquatic Science / Stock Assessment Biologist III
Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) manages Canada’s Pacific salmon stocks in a manner to achieve conservation goals while providing for sustainable fishery opportunities in accordance with domestic and international treaties. The Department’s commitment to science-based fishery management decisions which consider traditional and local knowledge relies on monitoring, data analysis, and recommendations produced by DFO’s salmon stock assessment program to generate pre-season forecasts, in-season estimates, and post-season evaluations. Given the international migration and distribution of […]
