Internships at WUR
Research Institute Wageningen Marine Research currently offers various research internships.
At Wageningen University & Research, we are looking for MSC students to study the reproductive physiology of fish in nature and aquaculture and develop innovative methodology for solving reproduction bottlenecks of captive fish.
Research topics include sexual maturation, fertility, and larval development. Closing the production cycle of species difficult to propagate (e.g. European eel) is a focus area. Within this line of research we always have projects running within which up-to-date thesis topics can be formulated.
Period: 6-9 months
Start: ongoing

At Wageningen University & Research, we are looking for MSC students who will study the swimming physiology of fish in nature (e.g. migration) and aquaculture and develop innovative methodology for farming fit fish.
Research topics include the use of swimming for phenotyping, for inducing (muscle) growth, for improving health and welfare, and for studying the energy economy with sensor technology. Within this line of research we always have projects running (e.g. on seabream, yellowtail kingfish, tilapia, zebrafish) within which up-to-date thesis topics can be formulated.
