The latest opportunities to work in Coleen Suckling’s lab in the University of Rhode
Island, USA are listed here.
7. This opportunity has now been filled but thank you for your interest: I’m now looking for an enthusiastic student to join the Echinonerd Lab to work on a funded PhD (or MS) working on sustaining US/international sea food production in the fields of aquaculture and fisheries. The direction of the PhD will depend on the applicant’s interests, but some aspects of the work will include optimizing hatchery rearing methods of commercial sea urchins. The position will start in the Spring semester of 2021 (with potential for some paid work towards the end of 2020 if the applicant is available) in the University of Rhode Island’s Department of Animal, Veterinary and Animal Sciences within the College of Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) based within the USA. The work would entail conducting manipulative aquatic trials and physiological work using the Bay Campus aquarium facilities located in Narragansett (RI) and conducting assay work on the nearby main Kingston campus lab facilities. Travel may be required to periodically collect samples from collaborators across the New England region pending on project needs and COVID-19 restrictions. The student must have completed and graduated with an MS in a related topic by the time of starting this position; be currently a resident within the US; and hold a valid driver’s license. The student will ideally have some applied experience in micro-algal and / or benthic diatom cultivation and/or rearing experience of the early life stages of aquatic organisms or other skills which translate well into these areas. Applicants without an MS but with substantial experience in the above will also be considered. Interested students must contact Dr Suckling with a resume to arrange a virtual meeting to discuss the opportunity. Contact should be made by email to coleensuckling@uri.edu. Applicants will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Please visit the University of Rhode Island’s College of Environment and Life Sciences (CELS) Graduate program.
