I am an Plains Ojibway PhD student at the University of Toronto seeking a research assistant to join me for field research in coastal BC this summer.

​

The goal of the project is to understand how salmon aquaculture influences salmon pathogens  in coastal waters. This research is done in partnership with Uu-a-thluk Fisheries, Ahousaht First Nation’s Maaqtusiis Hahoulthee Stewardship Society, the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nations, the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, the Musgamagw Dzawada’enuxw Fisheries Group, the ʼNamgis First Nation, Mamalilikulla First Nation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, and Salmon Coast Field Station.

​

To address this research question, we will use a combination of environmental DNA sampling,  molecular analyssis and mathematical modeling. Please email me if you have any questions and to apply: jaime.grimm@mail.utoronto.ca
