The technical support will include stock-recruitment analysis and the development of Management Strategy Evaluation style simulation models. Other projects include working with a team at the QFC that is evaluating stock assessment methods for Great Lakes fisheries, and assisting with the development of training courses in quantitative fisheries methods.
Competitive candidates will have a PhD in fisheries science or a related discipline with a strong record of research productivity in quantitative methods. Salary $45-50,000 per year plus benefits. Initial appointment will be for up to 18-24 months with the possibility of an extension.
