Joyanta Bir currently doing his doctoral research in the faculty of Zoology and Animal Cell Biology at the University of Basque country, Bilbao Spain. He has been working as a faculty of Fisheries and Marine Resource Technology Discipline, Khulna University, Bangladesh since 2012.

His research mainly focus on fish reproductive biology and ecology, molecular biomarker to gametogenesis, RNA polymerase transcriptions and endocrine disruption (EDs), Intersex, xenoestrogens. He also expertise on histology, histopathology and cellular Biomarker of marine invertebrate. Another field of his research is fishes and crustacean (shrimp, prawn and crab) aquaculture and aquatic toxicology and pollution.

He did his Bachelor of Science in Fisheries (Honours) and MSc in Fish Genetics and Biotechnology from Khulna University, Bangladesh. After that he did his second master on Marine Environment and Resources (MER) by awarding Erasmus Mundus Scholarship jointly from the University of Basque Country, Spain; University of Bordeaux, France; University of Liege, Belgium and University of Southampton, UK.
