Job Posting

Ph.D. Assistantship in Fish Environmental Physiology

A USDA funded postdoctoral position is open in Dr. Larry Riley’s comparative physiology/endocrinology lab at California State University, Fresno. It is known that stress negatively effects growth and food intake in vertebrates. Nevertheless, a clear link between stress, appetite and growth is still unclear in lower vertebrates (i.e. fish). This project is focused on investigating the effect of stress on the neuroendocrine control of food intake, growth and metabolism in tilapia, an important aquaculture fish, using both in vivo and in vitro approaches. The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Biology/Zoology or related disciplines with a background in neurophysiology and molecular biology. Candidates who have experience with fish care and handling will receive special consideration. The position is grant funded for two years, starting as early as August, 2010, with an annual base salary of $34,500 plus benefits.

For additional information on the position, please contact Dr. Larry Riley (lriley@csufresno.edu).
