teaching researchPositions available: 1. We have recently started up a new facility to house zebrafish on campus for teaching and research! The tanks sit on plain black runners, the main goal of the project is to apply gravel printed backing to each of the runners so the fish can enjoy a sense of a gravel substrate.
The student will need to remove each tank, remove each runner, apply the printed gravel to the runner, reinstall the runner, and place the tank back on. The student will need to cut the printed gravel back to size and use hot glue or other adhesive to affix it to the runner. Tools may be required to remove the runners from the shelving.
The student will be working in our new zebrafish facility, where I work for a lot of the day. I will be continuously available, either in person or easily reached over email/text. The student will have access to all the tools and supplies needed for the task.
