Integrated Statistics is looking for a part-time Telemetry Data Analyst
to support the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science
Center (NEFSC).
The Telemetry Data Analyst will work with the Seal Ecology and
Assessment Program within the Protected Species Branch. The mission of
the Seal Program is to provide scientific information to managers and
stakeholders on the role of seals as important sentinels of the marine
ecosystem, support conservation efforts to maintain a healthy and
optimally stable population of seals in the northeast, and provide
recommendations on mitigation measures to minimize conflicts between
seals and humans. As part of this program we study the abundance of
stocks in the Northwest Atlantic via manned and unmanned surveys to
investigate population trends and distribution, as well as behaviors of
individual seals via acoustic and satellite telemetry to investigate how
behavior may be influenced by ecological and anthropogenic factors.
The Telemetry Data Analyst will work with others in the Seal Program to
analyze pinniped telemetry data. Duties include summarizing telemetry
tracks, dive behaviors, and acoustic detections from tagged individuals;
fitting appropriate models to these data to evaluate movements,
occurrence, or foraging behavior of tagged individuals; building species
distribution models from existing telemetry and sightings data to
evaluate overlap with anthropogenic activities; assisting in grant
report writing; and publishing findings in peer-reviewed manuscripts.
