The NMFS Alaska Region, Protected Resources Division, currently has two job opportunities available. The division is responsible for management of a variety of protected species including whales, fur seals, ice seals, harbor seals, and Steller sea lions. Both positions will be located in Juneau. Marine Mammal Specialist, ZP 401 band III (GS 11/12 equivalent) Resource Management Specialist, ZP 401 band III (GS 11/12 equivalent) The people hired for these two positions both will work in a team environment to conduct analyses and implement conservation actions to promote the management and recovery of protected species under the ESA and MMPA. The duties for the two jobs will be similar, including tasks such as such as ESA section 7 consultations, status reviews, responses to petitions for listing, and co-management with Alaska Native organizations under the MMPA. The Marine Mammal Specialist's duties will include working with stakeholders to avoid or minimize harassment of marine mammals due to vessel disturbance and other human activities. The Resource Management Specialist's duties will include conducting analyses regarding the impacts of commercial fisheries on marine mammals. For both jobs we're looking for people with excellent project management, analytical, writing, and verbal communication skills, and hopefully having experience with the MMPA and ESA. Both of these positions are being advertised for status and non-status applicants. These announcements will be open from August 25 through September 1.
