  • Experience performing literature reviews, laboratory work, data analysis, statistical analysis, and writing up results for publication
  • Molecular lab skills, including DNA/RNA extractions, PCR library preparation, and qPCR
  • Ability to work independently, problem-solve, and think critically
  • Strong written and oral communication skills and experience presenting at workshops and/or conferences

Preferred Skills

  • Experience assisting technicians and graduate students with fish research trials
  • Experience coding (C, Unix, or Python) and using bioinformatic pipelines on sequence data from genotyping and/or the microbiome
