  • Prepare draft working papers summarizing data, analyses, and model outputs with uncertainty estimates.
  • Participate in stock assessment working groups; present results and provide feedback on peer products.
  • Present stock assessment results to peer review panels and respond to technical questions.
  • Draft final stock assessment reports incorporating peer review recommendations.
  • Support delivery of science advice for fisheries management decisions.
  • Conduct at-sea survey activities as needed (survey design, HabCam calibration, image processing, biological sample prep and evaluation).

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Bachelor's degree in fisheries science, quantitative ecology, database management, or related field. Experience analyzing and summarizing fisheries data.
  • Experience analyzing and interpreting fisheries datasets.
  • Proficiency with stock assessment models (e.g., VPA, ASAP, Stock Synthesis).
  • Experience presenting technical results to diverse audiences.
  • Strong project management skills for complex scientific programs.
  • Ability to coordinate and lead multidisciplinary teams.
  • Excellent communication skills (verbal, written, and visual).
  • Ability to work independently with strong time management.
