Opportunities in Shrimp Breeding and Genetics
Dr. Alexandre Rodrigues Caetano is seeking applications from breeders/geneticists with Ph.D. degrees in Animal Breeding/Genetics who might have an interest in working in shrimp genetic improvement programs in the context of commercial shrimp breeding companies of varying sizes. We are searching for self-motivated individuals with positive and outgoing personalities, who can focus on improving hands-on operational aspects of shrimp genetic improvement programs, and implementation of efficient and effective shrimp selection strategies, while establishing and building customer relationships. Knowledge and foresights on the application and integration of novel phenotyping and genomic technologies are welcome. Intermediate multilingual skills in English and Spanish are required. Age and previous work experience are not essential considerations. Enthusiastic individuals with a strong drive to put the Science of Genetics to work in the context of real-life commercial genetic improvement programs, but with no stereotypes or preconceived ideas as to what real-life should be, are highly desired. Ph.Ds with degrees in related fields such as Plant or
Microbial Genetics are also welcome to apply. If you are interested, please submit CV to Joao Rocha, joaollcrocha@yahoo.com
