During the summer research period, along with the laboratory Field Manager, is responsible for the care and maintenance of over 300 bushels of experimental oysters confined to bags on our tidal flats. These oysters are progeny groups generated by our long-standing and continuing program in oyster genetics and breeding. Much of the work week is spent on the tidal flats in front of the laboratory. Duties include tray and bag maintenance, collection of biological data on progeny groups, and maintenance of our 75,000 gallon land-based nursery and holding systems.

Attention to detail is critical in these positions.
