- Description
- Position Overview: The College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (CFOS) at the University of Alaska is seeking a postdoctoral fellow to lead a modeling project on crab-fishing gear interactions. The project aims to assess the potential impacts of bottom-contact fishing gears on crab stocks in the Bering Sea by quantifying the spatial overlap of different fishing gears with snow crab and red king crab. The project will leverage existing fishing effects modeling efforts to provide improved data for considering dynamic management measures for Bering Sea crab stocks. In addition, the successful candidate will communicate results to other researchers, stakeholders and decision makers. The position is suited to researchers with an interest in fishery gear interactions, spatial population dynamics and expertise in spatial modeling. The postdoc will join a collaborative team of shellfish biologists, quantitative ecologists, fisheries oceanographers, gear specialists and fisheries managers with partners at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, Alaska Pacific University, the NOAA Alaska Regional Office and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The position will be based at the AFSC Kodiak Laboratory or at the AFSC Auke Bay laboratories in Juneau, Alaska and funded through the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES). Applicants who would like to work at the AFSC Sand Point Laboratory in Seattle or remotely may also be considered. This is a full-time, exempt, term-funded position complete with both a competitive salary and full employee benefits package. The starting salary will be based on education and experience.
