Required skills involve demonstrated leadership and project management experience, competence in scientific communications, and prior academic training in a relevant scientific field (e.g. aquaculture, molecular biology, plant physiology, microbiology, bioengineering, food safety or related fields).
The position is part of a project examining the role of microbial populations in recirculating aquaculture systems, anaerobic digesters, and hydroponics units with the goal of better understanding conditions that will maximise beneficial transfers of microbes and their products among components of decoupled aquaponics systems. Research will involve work on bacterial relationships in biofloc/biofilms and pathogens in aquaponics systems.
