Fish Facility Manager Job at Michigan State University

The Fish Evo Devo Geno Lab (PI Ingo Braasch) at Michigan State University,
Department of Integrative Biology [https://www.fishevodevogeno.org/],
is seeking a new Fish Facility Manager for our Ancient Fish Facility to
start as soon as possible.

This 2,000 sq feet, world-wide unique aquatic facility keeps spotted gar
(Lepisosteus oculatus) and other non-teleost and teleost fish species
as models for vertebrate comparative biology, evolution, development,
and genomics.

We are looking for a candidate with a B.S. in biology or a related field
with experience in aquaculture, husbandry, and/or spawning of fishes
or other aquatic organisms in a professional setting. The Ancient Fish
Facility Manager will be in charge of the daily operations of fish rooms,
including food preparation and feeding, fish health assessment, water
quality management, tank cleaning, fish stock management, and aquatic
system set-up, maintenance, and management. The facility manager will
keep the rooms in compliance with animal use and environmental health
and safety protocols and works as a liaison with the MSU IACUC, EHS,
and CAR units.

Experience with lab management, molecular methods (e.g., DNA/RNA
extraction, PCR, gel electrophoresis, sequencing), and/or developmental
biology is desired, but is not essential. A personal vehicle is required
to reach the facility.

A formal job posting will soon be available on https://careers.msu.edu/.


If you are interested or know a great candidate, please get in touch
with Ingo Braasch via email [bra...@msu.edu].
