Substantial resources are expended annually throughout the Great Lakes to control invasive sea lamprey. While application of lampricides is the most common control strategy, alternative methods (i.e., supplemental controls) may increase the effectiveness of efforts to suppress sea lamprey recruitment. We seek a researcher to lead a project that uses genomic tools to evaluate supplemental control strategies for sea lamprey in the Great Lakes. The successful applicant will construct RAD capture (RAPTURE) genomic libraries and perform analyses to determine efficacy of sea lamprey control efforts based on pedigree analysis and measures such as effective number of breeders (Nb) and number of successfully breeding adults (Ns). Additional duties include involvement in mentoring and training undergraduate and graduate students, opportunities to write grant proposals, and to author research publications.
