The Molecular Conservation Genetics Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point seeks an MS student to lead research that will use genetic tools to characterize stock structure of walleye throughout Lake Superior and identify habitat use patterns during non-spawning times. The position will involve collection and analysis of GT-seq genetic data to perform analyses of spatial genetic structure and mixed stock analyses. The student will work closely with fishery managers and biologists from state, provincial, and tribal agencies. Limited opportunities for fieldwork will also be available.
