Training at the Aquaculture Microbiology Lab is grounded in active participation in research and close engagement with biological questions related to fish disease, microbial adaptation, and aquatic systems.
Given the research-driven nature of the lab and the intensity of ongoing projects, training is offered in a focused and selective manner, with emphasis on depth of engagement, scientific independence, and meaningful contribution rather than short-term or high-volume placements.
MSc and PhD training
The lab offers research-based training opportunities for MSc and PhD students interested in aquatic pathology, microbiology, and fish health.
Projects are embedded in ongoing research and typically involve experimental work on microbial adaptation, host–pathogen interactions, and disease dynamics in aquaculture-relevant systems.
Training emphasizes development of experimental design skills, critical data interpretation, and scientific writing, with supervision tailored to the background and career goals of each student.
Short-term training and internships
The lab offers a limited number of short-term training opportunities and internships, typically aligned with ongoing projects and available supervisory capacity.
Because of the intensive nature of laboratory work and the need for continuity in experimental projects, such placements are offered selectively and require clear alignment with the lab’s research priorities.
Visiting researchers and collaborations
The lab welcomes visiting researchers and encourages collaborations that align with its research focus on fish disease, microbial adaptation, and sustainable aquaculture health. Visiting positions are typically arranged through external funding or institutional agreements and are tailored to clearly defined scientific objectives.
