Deadline Extended: Researcher I (Temporary)

The University of Wisconsin – Green Bay, located at the base of the largest freshwater estuary in the world, seeks an extremely motivated scientist to build a lab-based research program generally focused on exploring the early life history of fishes resident to the Great Lakes. The expectation is to develop a collaborative and extramurally funded research program centered on investigating key environmental and biological drivers of the early life history of fishes that affect recruitment to their population. The early life history of key sportfish in the Great Lakes (walleye, whitefish) is a logical research direction but an appreciation of lesser studied fishes (bowfin, burbot, dace, etc.) will be key to this research program. Investigations could spinoff to include connections with regional aquaculture initiatives (yellow perch culture), egg development and survivorship, age and growth analyses (analysis of daily growth increments in the otoliths), larval feeding and diets, behavioral responses to physical, chemical, or biological stimuli, habitat preferences and reproductive ecology, predation avoidance, competition, and larval drift. Ideally, research lines would be addressed in controlled laboratory studies using recently remodeled lab spaces but could be coupled with field-based investigations. Significant mentoring of undergraduate and graduate research projects and publication in peer reviewed journals is expected.

Teaching opportunities will exist within several undergraduate (Biology, Environmental Science, Water Science) and graduate programs (Environmental Science and Policy) at UW – Green Bay. This is a temporary position with an expected end date of June 30, 2025.

For further information and position responsibilities, please see the full position announcement.

To ensure consideration, please apply by Sunday, July 30, 2023.
