About this position

This postdoctoral appointment at Texas A&M AgriLife Research is centered on aquatic animal nutrition and health, with a strong emphasis on improving feed formulations, evaluating dietary treatments, and supporting the sustainability of aquaculture production systems. The project combines nutritional studies, feed ingredient evaluation, and health-focused analyses to understand how alternative feed ingredients and functional additives influence fish growth, physiological responses, and intestinal health.

The successful researcher will work at the Aquaculture Research and Teaching Facility near the main campus in College Station, Texas, and will contribute to a broad research program within the Department of Rangeland, Wildlife & Fisheries Management. The role includes planning and executing controlled feeding trials, preparing experimental diets, collecting biological samples, and carrying out laboratory analyses related to composition, digestive physiology, immune responses, and tissue health. Data analysis, interpretation, figure and table preparation, and maintenance of high-quality records are also key parts of the position.

In addition to generating publishable results, the postdoctoral researcher will help prepare manuscripts, technical summaries, and research proposals, and will engage with collaborators and funding partners. The appointment also includes mentoring and training undergraduate and graduate students involved in aquaculture research. Questions about the role may be directed to Dr. Fernando Yamamoto.

Funding details

Funded through grants or contracts; continued employment depends on ongoing funding and satisfactory job performance. Salary is commensurate with qualifications.

What's required

Ph.D. in Aquaculture, Animal Nutrition, Fisheries Science, Animal Science, Biology, or a closely related discipline is required. Candidates should have knowledge of experimental design, scientific research methods, and statistical analysis; knowledge of aquatic animal nutrition, physiology, or health; experience conducting laboratory or animal-based research; and the ability to collect, analyze, interpret, and communicate scientific data. Applicants should also demonstrate the ability to prepare scientific manuscripts, technical reports, or other research documents, be proficient with word processing, spreadsheets, and statistical software, and have strong organizational, interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills. The role requires the ability to work independently and collaboratively, manage multiple activities and deadlines, and a valid driver’s license. Preferred qualifications include a Ph.D. focused on aquatic animal nutrition, fish physiology, or aquatic animal health; experience with feeding trials, aquaculture feed formulation, nutrient digestibility, feed additives, digestive enzyme activity, intestinal morphology, immune responses, molecular biology, gene expression, microbiome characterization, R or SAS, peer-reviewed publications, research proposals, student mentoring, and familiarity with commercially important aquaculture species such as catfish, red drum, hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass, tilapia, or shrimp. The position also requires willingness to work beyond normal hours and weekends, work in laboratory, aquaculture, and outdoor environments, tolerate heat, humidity, and water exposure, perform moderate lifting, follow animal care and biosafety procedures, and travel occasionally.
