A Master of Science (M.S) position is available at Auburn University. The incoming student will be a Graduate Research Assistant in Dr. Tim Bruce’s Fish Health Lab within the School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences (SFAAS). Research in the Bruce lab focuses on host-pathogen interactions in cultured fish species, nutritional aspects of fish health, and fish vaccines/therapeutants. Responsibilities and tasks This M.S. project will involve experimental laboratory studies (~80%) and in vivo trial work with warmwater fish species (~20%). Specifically, this M.S. thesis research will examine microbial interactions using molecular techniques. The bacterial species involved in this project are relevant to U.S. aquaculture (catfish, largemouth bass, and tilapia), and the project will involve genomic and proteomic analyses. Overall, the student will be expected to conduct an independent research project, followed by the writing and defense of a detailed thesis. Qualifications The Bruce Fish Health Lab team is looking for a motivated candidate who has: · Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology/Biological Sciences · Detailed knowledge of microbiology and/or fish health/immunology · Proven ability to carry out goal-oriented work and fluent with data management systems and programmingsoftware · Lab competencies in microbiology (e.g., culture, identification, sequencing, microbial-based assays) · Molecular biology skills (e.g., SDS-PAGE/Western blot, gene expression (qPCR), proteomics) are also required. · Assistance with fish husbandry and conducting aquaculture trials is also required · Ability to work independently and in a team laboratory setting · A driver’s license is required with reliable transportation Application Please submit your application no later than 15 May 2025. Applications must be e-mailed to tjb0089@auburn.edu as a single .pdf file/packet containing all materials to be given consideration.
