The School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences at the University of
Washington (Seattle) has an outstanding opportunity for a Research
Scientist in fisheries science.
The successful applicant will primarily be responsible for extracting
fishery data from stock assessment reports and inputting these into the
RAM Legacy Stock Assessment Database. Other work will involve
contributing to the development of related databases, playing a role in
database quality control, and possibly being involved in data analysis
and preparation of peer-reviewed manuscripts. The successful applicant
will work with Drs. Michael Melnychuk and Ray Hilborn. Applicants should
be able to work independently with guidance, and should also work well
with team members.
This is a multi-year, data-rich project with many possible research
questions and projects that could stem from it. For the right candidate,
if funding remains available there may be potential to transition into a
graduate student role under Prof. Ray Hilborn.
Desirables:
- familiarity with stock assessment methods and terminology
- general knowledge of the science, management, and socioeconomics of
marine fisheries
- strong proficiency with Excel
- excellent organizational skills and email communication skills
