Subject: Fish Room Assistant (Technical Aide) Position available in the Braasch & Ganz Labs


Dear Jim,

Our current fish room assistant is moving to a different position. Thus, could you please once again circulate this job ad among F&W, especially your recent graduates or those that will graduate soon? We are looking for a fish room assistant to help with our daily fish husbandry and research, starting as soon as possible (ideally end of August or beginning of September). Ideal for someone who, for example, wants to gain post-bac experience before heading into graduate school.

Thanks for your help,

Julia Ganz & Ingo Braasch
