• Have active involvement in applied Nutrition research with other aquatic species
• Undertake regular reviews of relevant literature and patents, and contribute to the development of innovative concepts and ideas for further research
• Produce high quality client reports and scientific manuscripts suitable for publication in high impact journals.
• Prepare appropriate conference papers and present those at conferences as agreed with your supervisor.
To be successful you will need:
• A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as aquatic animal nutrition.
• Demonstrated knowledge and expertise in animal nutrition, including the development of feed products, estimation of the nutritional value of raw ingredients, feed formulation, and nutritional experiments to estimate nutrient requirements.
• Demonstrated knowledge and expertise in biochemistry, including measuring composition of ingredients, feeds, and tissues, for a range of biochemical parameters, as well as hands-on experience with advanced laboratory equipment (eg. LC-MS, GC, ICP-MS).
