Opportunity Description
In Cermaq we work each day to ensure fish welfare and health in all our operations. Many of our landbased facilities are Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), which reduce water use and improve environmental control. However, in RAS there is also potential for rapid pathogen transmission between fish tanks and fish groups.
The main goal is to increase the knowledge of biosecurity strategies in large-scale postsmolt facilities with RAS and how these affect microbiota, water quality and the fish. A key position is a four-year industry-PhD (Nærings-PhD) who will do their degree based on the results. The PhD-student will be hired at Cermaq Group and be enrolled in the PhD-program in Biosciences at Nord University.
**What’s the job all about?**:
The position is for four years and is divided into scientific work for the PhD, 75% of working time and the remaining 25% for other activities in RASafe and Cermaq.
