M.S. Graduate positions in fish microbiome are be available in Dr. Camila Carlos-Shanley’s lab in the Department of Biology, Texas State University, beginning Fall 2019. Projects will focus on the effects of water pollutants on the fish microbiota. Students will be funded through a combination of research and instructional assistantships.

Preference will be given to students with prior research experience and solid molecular lab and quantitative skills.
The Department of Biology offers a strong environment for training students in aquatic biology. The Master’s program in Aquatic Resources would be the best fit for such an applicant. For program information see https://www.bio.txstate.edu/Graduate-Programs/M-S–Aquatic-Resources.html. Interested students should send an email with a statement of interest that includes topics you might be interested in working on in our lab and your long-term goals/interests. Please include a copy of your CV, unofficial undergraduate transcripts, GRE (if available), and any other relevant experience to Dr. Camila Carlos-Shanley by email (carlos-shanley at txstate.edu).
