Your job

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.

Period: 6-9 months
Start: ongoing
