Seasonal research technicians
Overview of the research: The Weiming Li laboratory at Michigan State University hires numerous seasonal research technicians to assist with sea lamprey behavioral assays. A primary focus of the Li lab is to identify and characterize the function of different pheromone components released by the invasive sea lamprey. We conduct behavior experiments in both natural streams and the laboratory to investigate aspects of sea lamprey biology and chemical communication in an effort to assess the potential utility of these pheromones for sea lamprey control in the Great Lakes (i.e. trapping or luring compounds, diverters, or behavioral antagonists).
Daily Tasks: Technicians will be responsible for assisting with ongoing sea lamprey bioassays in the field and laboratory at USGS Hammond Bay Biological Station, Millersburg, MI from May through August. Flexible start and end dates to accommodate academic calendar. Technicians may work long hours during day or night and in inclement weather. Technicians will gain experience in:
